Yesterday all my troubles seemed so far away

Now it looks as though they're here to stay

Oh I believe in yesterday

Suddenly I'm not half the girl I used to be

There's a shadow hanging over me

Oh yesterday came suddenly

Why he had to go

I don't know he wouldn't say

I said something wrong

Now I'm long for yesterday

Yesterday love was such an easy game to play

Now I need a place to hide away

Oh I believe in yesterday
