  • Oh, oh-oh (oh, oh-oh, ooh)
    No, oh (no, oh)
    Ooh-oh

    (Toni)
    I gave you the benefit of the doubt
    'Til you showed me what you were about
    Your true colors came out, oh
    And your words couldn't hide the sin
    'Cause the truth about where you been
    Is in a fragrance I can't recognize

    Just standing there, scratching your head
    Bloodshot eyes, drunk with regret
    Hanging yourself 10 feet over the edge
    I'm done with this, feeling like an idiot
    Loving you, I'm over it
    I just don't love you, don't love you no more

    You, you are so yesterday
    Never thought you'd lose my love this way
    Now you come begging me to stay
    See you, you are so yesterday
    I won't let you rain on my parade
    I don't wanna hear a thing you say
    You're so yesterday

    Baby, what you're saying to me is
    There's no more you and I
    I couldn't get it right on yesterday
    So kiss our tomorrows goodbye
    Baby, love should've brought me home
    Should've just been a man about it
    But now I'm crying like a baby
    Girl, your love was like my blanket
    Don't know what to do without it

    I'm standing here, pleading my case
    You don't care to hear what I say
    Hanging yourself 10-feet over the edge (oh no, baby, no)
    My promises don't mean nothing
    The end is so disgusting
    I just don't love you, don't love you no more (don't love me no more)

    You, you are so yesterday
    Never thought you'd lose my love this way (I never thought)
    Now you come begging me to stay (whoa-oh)
    Honey, you, you are so yesterday
    I won't let you rain on my parade
    I don't wanna hear a thing you say, you're so yesterday (ooh)

    And now you wanna reminisce (now I wanna reminisce)
    Say you wanna try again (said I wanna try again)
    It started with a little kiss (a kiss, a kiss)
    (But we can't even be friends)
    Oh no, no, no
    Now I never wanna see you (never)
    Never wanna feel you (never)
    Never wanna hear you (never)
    I don't love you (uh), don't need you, can't stand you no more

    You, you are so yesterday
    Never thought you'd lose my love this way (oh no) (Toni, please don't leave)
    Now you come begging me to stay (I won't stay)
    (Toni, Toni, don't) baby, you are
    (Toni, Toni, Toni, don't do it again)

    You, you are so yesterday
    I won't let you rain on my parade (woo)
    Don't wanna hear a thing you say (don't you leave)
    You're so yesterday
    So yesterday (just because of yesterday)
    So yesterday (don't erase tomorrow)
    So yesterday (just because of yesterday)
    So yesterday
    You are
    So yesterday
    So yesterday (yesterday)
