Yesterday  there was so  many things I was never  told.

 Prayers in my pocket and no hand in destiny.

 'Cause yesterday's got nothin' for me.
 Old pictures that I'll always see.
 Some things could be better if we'd just let them be.
 3rd verse
 Yesterday there were so many things I was never shown.
 Suddenly this time I found I'm on the streets and I'm alone.
 Yesterday's got nothin' for me.
 Old pictures that I'll always see.
 I ain't got time to reminisce old novelties.
