Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ah, ooh

Ah, ooh

Yesterday I had the blues

I couldn't win, ah

All I did was lose

[Verse 2]

But now I got everything, ah, ooh

You made my poor heart sing

'Cause I got you, baby

Oh, yes I do

[Verse 3]

Yesterday, yesterday I had to cry

Yesterday I had to cry

Oh Lord, things were so bad

Oh

I wanted to die

[Verse 4]

Now it's just a memory, ah, ooh

You made my poor heart sing

I'm so glad I got you, baby

Oh, yes I am

[Verse 5]

You filled, you filled, you filled my heart

With so much joy

I can tell, I can tell by the way you make, you make me feel

Hey

You said it

I said it

Over and over again

That this love has, has got to be

Got to be for real

[Verse 6]

Yeah oh, yesterday, yesterday I had the blues, yesterday I had the blues

I was a sad and lonely fool

But now I got everything, ah, ooh

You made my poor heart sing

I'm so glad I got you, baby

[Verse 7]

You came inside of my heart

Yes, you did

And started a spark

Of love burnin' so hot

Oh yeah

[Verse 8]

I wanna say, you said it, you said it

Yeah, and I said it, I said it

Over and over and over and over again, over and over again

This love has, has got to be, got to be for real

[Verse 9]

Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday I had the blues, yesterday I had the blues

Yesterday, yesterday I had those blues, yesterday I had the blues, didn't I?

But those sad days are all over

Yesterday I had the blues, yes they are

'Cause I love you, baby

[Verse 10]

Yesterday I had the blues, oh yeah

Yesterday, yesterday, yesterday I had the blues, yesterday I had the blues

But those blues, I won't say no more

Yesterday I had the blues, oh yeah, oh yeah

Hey, yesterday I had the blues, yesterday I had the blues but I ain't got 'em no more

I thank God

I thank God for you

[Verse 11]

Yesterday I had the blues, you know why?

Look at me, oh, I'm a brand new man

Yesterday I had the blues, yes I am

Oh Lord

I, I got a brand new walk

Yesterday I had the blues, oh yeah

And I, I got a brand new start

Yesterday I had the blues, look at me
