Yesterdays Girl - Hank Thompson

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 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 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
