  • Oh, I used to sing it
    And I used to crank it with the windows down
    I used to love it
    Oh, but I'm over it, I'm over it now

    I used to leave it playin' on repeat
    I spun the record 'til it turned on me
    The DJ knows exactly what I need
    I need an out with the old, in with the new beat

    You were the rooftop on the top of my lungs
    Blowin' the speakers in the back of my truck
    And you had your chance, yeah, but I'm movin' on
    And now it's just yesterday's song, yesterday's song
    The soundtrack, every night in my bed
    You were the woo-ooh gettin' stuck in my head
    Now you're just a nickel when the feeling is gone
    Baby, now you're just yesterday's song, yesterday's song

    We had a moment
    There's no more magic in the melody
    It's lost and you know it
    It's just the sound of what we used to be

    Yeah, I used to leave it playin' on repeat
    I spun the record 'til it turned on me
    The DJ knows exactly what I need
    A little dancin' could be good for me

    You were the rooftop at the top of my lungs
    Blowin' the speakers in the back of my truck
    And you had your chance, yeah, but I'm movin' on
    And now it's just yesterday's song, yesterday's song
    The soundtrack, every night in my bed
    You were the woo-ooh gettin' stuck in my head
    Now you're just a nickel when the feeling is gone
    Baby, now you're just yesterday's song, yesterday's song

    (Oh, Yesterday's song)

    I got a whole new "hey" (hey)
    I got a brand new "wooh" (hey)
    I got new moves and old news
    I got a new song I wanna sing to you
    I'm gonna get by, I'm gonna get through without you

    You used to be the rooftop at the top of my lungs
    Blowin' the speakers in the back of my truck
    Yeah, you had your chance, yeah, but I'm movin' on
    Now you're just yesterday's song, you're yesterday's song
    The soundtrack, every night in my bed
    You were the woo-ooh gettin' stuck in my head
    Now yeah, I still let go when the feeling is gone
    Baby, now you're just yesterday's song, yesterday's song

    Yesterday's song
    Oh, the feeling is gone, if the feeling is gone
    Yeah, goodbye, goodbye baby
