Janis Ian
Love You More Than Yesterday
[Chorus]
Love you more than yesterday
So much less than tomorrow
Love you more in every way
Time for pain or sorrow
Dee-da-n'deedely-dum
Dee-da-deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely, de-dee-n'da-da
Dee-da-n'deedely-dum
Dee-n'da-deedely, dee-n'da-n'deedely
Dee, dum
[Verse 1]
Got your letter yesterday
In a place not far from home
Guess you know I mean what I say
When I say, "Don't leave me alone"
Well, I cheated and I lied
I broke the promises made to you
In the best of faith
You don't know how I cry
I've been such a foolish child
Didn't know I could feel this way
But baby, I haven't changеd
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you more than yеsterday (Love you more)
So much less than tomorrow
Love you more in every way (Love you more)
Time for pain or sorrow
Dee-da-n'deedely-dum
Dee-da-deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely, de-dee-n'da-da
Dee-da-n'deedely-dum
Dee-n'da-deedely, dee-n'da-n'deedely
Dee, aahh
[Verse 2]
Used to be, I'd give my word
Into anything you please
Now I know what it is to be hurt
It's an emotional strip tease
I guess I should have tried
But opportunity passed my way
And I grabbed for a-whatever she gave
You know I'm nothing more
Than the cheapest kind of whore
I gave it for free today
But take me back again
[Chorus]
'Cause I love you more than yesterday (Love you more)
So much less than tomorrow
Love you more in every way (Love you more)
Time for pain or sorrow
Dee-da-n'deedely-dum
Dee-da-deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely, de-dee-n'da-da
Dee-da-n'deedely-dum
Dee-n'da-deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely
Aahh
[Outro (Fade)]
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so...
