Yesterday ain't coming back
So you had better plan tomorrow
A plan to rid you of all sorrow
Yesterday ain't coming back

You've lost the only love you had
So there's no use in cryin' out your heart
Get on your feet, it's time to make a start
Yesterday ain't coming back

No, no, too late to cry
No, no, too late to sigh
See another day (see another day)
No, no, too late to cry
No, no, too late to sigh
Tomorrow's on its way
See another day

What's done is done, the time's too late
And cryin' isn't going to change things
You'll have to start to rearrange things
Yesterday ain't coming back

No, no, too late to cry
No, no, too late to sigh
See another day (see another day)
No, no, too late to cry
No, no, too late to sigh
Tomorrow's on its way
See another day

And now before my story ends
Just think of people who are worse than you
And start to do the things they cannot do
Yesterday ain't coming
Yesterday ain't coming
Yesterday ain't coming back.
