Oh, oh, no, oh, oh Gave you the benefit of the doubt Till you showed me what you were about Your true colors came out Oh And your words couldn't hide the scent 'Cause the truth about where you've been Is in a fragrance I can recognize Standing there Scratching your head Blood shot eyes Drunk with regret Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge I'm done with this Feeling like an idiot Lovin' you--I'm over it I just don't love you, don't love you no more You, you are so yesterday Never thought you'd lose my love this way Now you come begging me to stay See, you, you are so yesterday I won't let you rain on my parade I don't wanna hear a thing you say So yesterday Funny now how I'm gone The little light in your head came on Now you realize it's all your fault, ooo, ooo Don't you wish you had a time machine? That way you could change history That's the only way that you could be with me Standing there Scratching your head Blood shot eyes Drunk with regret Hanging yourself ten feet over the edge I'm done with this Feeling like an idiot Lovin' you--I'm over it I just don't love you, don't love you no more You, you are so yesterday Never thought you'd lose my love this way Now you come begging me to stay See, you, you are so yesterday I won't let you rain on my parade I don't wanna hear a thing you say So yesterday And now you wanna reminisce Say you wanna try again Started with a little kiss (We can't even regret) no, no Now I never wanna see you Never wanna feel you Never wanna hear you I don't love you Don't need you Can't stand you No more You, you are so yesterday Never thought you'd lose my love this way Now you come begging me to stay See, you, you are so yesterday I won't let you rain on my parade I don't wanna hear a thing you say So yesterday So yesterday So yesterday So yesterday
