Yesterday's Girl

Yesterday's Girl - Hank Thompson & His Brazos Valley Boys

You told her lies as her starry eyes

Looked up in admiration

You painted schemes 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 game 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

And 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 and take and give

The love of a yesterday's girl
