Yesterdays Lover

​

 

I'm yesterdays lover ~ not the love of your life,

I'm yesterday's lover ~ and yesterday's wife,

Yesterday's lover ~ is not your best friend,

For a yesterday love dear ~ to me you did lend.

 

I'm yesterdays lover ~ and I know the score,

My yesterday sweetheart ~ has now closed the door.

Your love is not constant ~ was not made to last,

Tomorrow's new lover ~ will soon be outcast.

 

I'm yesterday's lover ~ I'm not your best friend,

I wish you no harm dear ~ but a wish I do send,

That one day my darling ~ you'll be all alone,

You'll pay for your sins dear ~ you'll have to atone.

 

Tomorrow a lover ~ one day you may find,

She'll leave for another ~ to leave you behind.

A yesterday lover ~ one day you may be,

My yesterday sweetheart ~ then don't turn to me.

 

I'm yesterday's lover ~ and I know the score,

Tomorrow’s new lady ~ you soon will outlaw.

You are fickle my darling ~ your love is untrue

It has no foundation ~ it builds to renew.

 

This yesterday sweetheart ~ is hurting inside,

For yesterday's love has ~ been lost and denied,

Go to your new love ~ you’ll soon break her heart

Clandestine liaisons ~ will break you apart.

 

I’m yesterday’s lover ~ I’m not your best friend

For a yesterday love dear ~ to me you did lend,

I’m yesterday’s lover ~ don’t come back for more,

My yesterday lover ~ now you know the score.
