You like a man with a future You like a woman with a past Well do you really believe that She said to faces in the crowd (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else And even if you did miss me You never let me know You prefer to be just a little bit In and out of love with me And not to scream and shout You prefer to be just a little bit In and out of agony (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else Come on now, let the sad winds blow down As the rain came, she refused to wear her coat But deep in her heart she knew, that the song must go on He says well I have forgotten you And your beautiful eyes We were off the wall We were mirrors of our former selves Well you could have said no You could have said well I just can't Whoa we were off the wall We were mirrors of each other Passing by (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else Well I was your paper doll (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Paper doll (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Well I was you paper doll (yesterday I was fascinated by somebody else) Paper doll And it doesn't even matter (I was fascinated by somebody else) It was a real clear answer (I was fascinated by somebody else) I was fascinated by somebody else (I was fascinated by somebody else)
