Lyrics
BORN YESTERDAY
I just heard your song on the radio and then I wrecked my car
You ran my heart into the ground I guess you're a bigger star now
I stayed up nights thinkin' bout you, could of cried til it was light
I was the poster child from hand to mouth, but nothing was alright
Did you mean to be everything to me, was it in the past?
Did you think I'd last this way?
I wasn't born yesterday, I wasn't made of stone
The only reason why I stayed was I felt you in my bones
And I still got your number, and maybe I should call
I know your still lonely on the road But baby that aint all
I wasn't born yesterday oh no I wasn't born yesterday
When I was in love with myself on my Lower East side
So many stories I don't tell where I used to hide
While you were holding court backstage
And I was out somewhere else out on the road
The subtext clear on every page, we're both always alone
And in every major key there's a minor tragedy
And in the present tense and in my defense I'll say
I wasn't born yesterday, I wasn't made of stone
The only reason why I stayed was I felt you in my bones
And I still got your number, and maybe I should call
I know your still lonely on the road I wish that you would fall again but I
I wasn't born yesterday oh no
I wasn't born yesterday
Oh no, I wasn't born yesterday
I wasn' born yesterday on no...
