Girl From Yesterday

[Verse 1]
Here I am
Looking through that same window again
Got me hurting to see you
Attack me, jealousy
Always wondering if I'm being true
Why can't I be pretty for you?

[Chorus]
You want too much of me (Of me)
Why can't I shine? (Why can't I shine?)
How could you do me that way? (How could you do me?)
The girl from yesterday
Today, I'm gone away, away, away, away, away
Gone away, you push me away
Ooh-ooh, yesterday
Ooh-ooh, yesterday

[Verse 2]
If somebody loved me
The way that I have loved you
I would be secure
But you have friends that think they know how
This relationship should go
Forces from the outside
Destroying us
Why can't I be a woman? Why can't you trust?

[Chorus]
You want too much of me
Why can't I shine? (Why can't I be me?)
How could you do me that way? (I wouldn't change you for the world)
The girl from yesterday
Today, I'm gone away, away, away, away, away
You're pushing me away
So far away, the girl from yesterday
Ooh-ooh, yesterday
Ooh-ooh, yesterday
Yesterday, yesterday

[Outro]
How could you treat me this way?
The girl from yesterday
You did wipe my tears away, oh, oh
How could you do it?
You were my lover
You were my friend
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
And you're pushing me
Pushing me away, boy
And I don't understand
I loved you, trust you
I need you, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
