My belly is aching and my head feels sore
My eyes are tired and my pocket is poor
Been climbing the mountains
Walking strawberry fields
Swam the lake of fire
Jumped in bins to find my meals

Oh yesterday, who would have thought it would turn out this way
Oh yesterday who would have thought it would turn out

Looking back at the days when I was still at school

I had a view of the world, all I wanted was a boyfriend
Had money in my pocket and a coat on my back
Then the music man came and now there's no turning back

Oh yesterday, who would have thought it would turn out this way

Now I'm back on the cigarettes
Been working my fingers down to the bone
I'm covered in dirt from the dusty road
And will I ever find a place I can call my own

Oh yesterday, who would have thought it would turn out this way
