You told her lies
As her stary eyes
Looked up in admiration
You painted scheemes
And lovely dreams
With all your temptation
You spoke of things
Like wedding rings
And promised her the world
For no cause at all
You let her fall
And now she's yesterday's girl
You think it's smart
To lure the heart
Of a girl whose lips you kissed
Is it just a game
To add her name
To your broken hearted list
You've loved some long
You've loved some wrong
You promised each the world
Each came to be
Just a memory
And another yesterday's girl
Don't you sometimes feel
That love is real
The greatest thing in life
Not one romance
You gave the chance
To be your cherished wife
You cheat and lie
You make them cry
And promise each the world
And one by one
They each become
Another yesterday's girl
When autumn falls
And you recall
The things that might have been
Then you'll pause
And see your cause
The greed that's deep within
When you're old
And love grows cold
I'll bet you'd give the world
To just relive
To take and give
The love of a yesterday's girl
