Lyrics The Smithereens – Yesterday Girl

I never think about the future, I just live for today
And if you want a ready answer I’ve got nothing to say
So please don’t bother talking to me, I’ll just disappoint you
Because I’m quite content to sit right here with nothing to do

I’m not the same guy that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go

But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you’re my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

I never wanna find an answer ’cause I don’t like the truth
And if I find just what I’m looking for I’ve something to lose
So please don’t go and ask me questions, I just won’t feel the same
(I’ll do what you say, doesn’t matter anyway)
And when I think about religion, well, there’s no one to blame
(I’ll agree with you, doesn’t matter what I do)

Now I’m not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the tricky fella with someplace to go

But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
And you’re my yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl

Tell me something new, then I might agree with you
I live for today, not yesterday

I never think about the future, I just live for today
And if you want an easy answer I’ve got nothing to say
Now I’m not the singer that you used to know
I used to be the guy that had someplace to go

But that was yesterday girl, yesterday girl
Yesterday girl, yesterday girl
