[Chorus 1]
Oh, yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now, I need a place to hide away
Oh, I, I believe in yesterday
[Verse 1]
Suddenly
People, I ain't half the man I used to be, no
There's a heavy, heavy shadow hanging over me
Yesterday, came all too suddenly
Oh, why did she have to go?
I don't know
Tell you, I don't know
The little girl wouldn't say
[Chorus 2]
I must have, must have said something wrong
Now I long, long, long for yesterday
[Verse 2]
Oh, talking about yesterday
Love, love, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Lord I, I believe now, in yesterday, oh
[Chorus 2]
[Chorus 1]
Oh, yesterday
All my troubles seemed so far away
Now, I need a place to hide away
Oh, I, I believe in yesterday
[Verse 1]
Suddenly
People, I ain't half the man I used to be, no
There's a heavy, heavy shadow hanging over me
Yesterday, came all too suddenly
Oh, why did she have to go?
I don't know
Tell you, I don't know
The little girl wouldn't say
[Chorus 2]
I must have, must have said something wrong
Now I long, long, long for yesterday
[Verse 2]
Oh, talking about yesterday
Love, love, love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Lord I, I believe now, in yesterday, oh
