Yesterday Man Lyrics

I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)

Please tell me something: have you met an angel
Someone too lovely to live on earth
Well, yesterday I thought I met an angel
But she wasn't worth all she seemed to be worth
And oh what a fool I have been
I was sure taken in

I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
That's what I am: her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)

Well, some are the good and then some are the bad kind
Some of the others are in between
But all I can say is she is the worst kind
Well I think you know what I mean
And yet, in spite of all that I say
I'd take her back any day

I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
I'm her yesterday man
Well my friends that's what I am
That's what I am: her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)

I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
I'm her yesterday man
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
(Gone is the look of love she had last night)
