Yesterday, I saw your beautiful face
You smiled at me as you walked with such grace
Wearing the dress that I gave you last time,
The velvet red really fits you just fine

Yesterday, you stayed at the coffee shop
Where I worked for six years as an old mop
I knew that you were waiting for someone
And I said to myself, "I'm not the one."

Yesterday, you had a date with a guy
His elegance couldn't make him feel shy
He took a diamond ring from his pocket
So I walked away, bringing my bucket

Yesterday, I was yours and you were mine
But you left me at the end of the line
You chose the guy who was better than me
I cried, I got drunk and I set you free
