yesterday is just the day before today
sat and watched it, watch it slide away
yesterday cried, ooh, yesterday cried

looking at me through those tiny eyes
why did you do it, why did you have to lie
yesterday cried, ooh, yesterday cried

all you ever wanted
and all you ever need ...
ooh, yesterday cried

my main line's gone a different way
I woke up, and it was yesterday
yesterday cried, ooh, yesterday cried

times been good, times have been bad
when I was with you, you know it made me sad
yesterday cried, ooh, yesterday cried

all you ever wanted
and all you ever need ...
ooh, yesterday cried
yesterday cried

by the shape of things I'm in
I'll just watch it slide away
yesterday, yesterday, yesterday
