Lyrics

We'd like to do something now which
We've never ever done before
And it's a track off our new LP
And this song's called Yesterday
And so for Paul McCartney of Liverpool
Opportunity knocks
Thank you, George
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 man I used to be
There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly
Why she had to go
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now, I 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
Why'd she have to go?
I don't know, she wouldn't say
I said something wrong
Now, I 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, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm
Thank you, Ringo, that was wonderful
