Yesterday's Girl, lost in a world, that she used to rule in turn.
Tall painted girl, diamonds and pearls, the talk of the town you were.
Yesterday's girl, turn back the years, the time and the place so clear.
Mirror of love, can't see the flaws
The closer you look the truth's no use at all.
Today it's a different world.
I know, today its a different world. (Aha)
People have loved you for so long,
But now you don't talk at all,
Believable lies, that's all you share,
Yesterday's girl, is the love so hard to bear?
(Bridge)
(I know) I know it's a different world.
I know (I know today) it's a different world. (A different world today)
Yesterday's girl, look at you now, a shadow of what you were.
Beauty remains, locked deep inside, imprisoned by your own mind.
People may laugh, that's what you say, laugh at the way you've aged.
They can still see, you as you were,
Yesterday's girl, they don't ever quite see the way.
(You'll never see the way) never see the way
(You'll never see the way) never see the way
