Mary J. Blige - Girl From Yesterday lyrics

rate me

Here I am

Looking through that same window again

Got me hurting to see you

Attack me, jealousy

Always wondering if I've been true

Why can't I be pretty for you

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)

Away

You push me away

(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)

(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)

If somebody love 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

(You want too much of me)

(Why can't I shine)

Why can't I be real

(How could you do me that way)

I would change you for the world

(The girl from yesterday)

Today, I'm gone away (Away, away, away, away)

You push me away

So far away

The girl from yesterday

(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)

(Wooo wo Yesterday.....)

(Yesterday)

(Yesterday)

How could you treat me this way

The girl from yesterday

You did wear and tears away

Uhhh.....

How could you do it

You were my lover

You were my friend

Oh, oh

Ooh, oh...........

And you pushin' me

Pushin' me away, boy

And I don't understand

I loved you

Trusted you

I needed you, oh......
