Yesterday Man
Regret's Melody: Unveiling the Bittersweet Echoes of 'Yesterday Man'
Lyrics
I'm her yesterday man
I am her past lover
Well my friends that's what I am
Emphasizing the speaker's identity as her past lover
I'm her yesterday man
Reiteration of being her past lover
Well my friends that's what I am
Reaffirming the speaker's status as her past lover
That's what I am, her yesterday man
Emphasizing and confirming the speaker's role as her past lover
Please tell me something have you met an angel
Asking if the listener has encountered an exceptionally beautiful person, possibly referring to the woman in question
Someone too lovely to live on earth
Describing the ideal person as someone too lovely for this world
Well yesterdeay I thought I met an angel but
Expressing a past encounter with someone believed to be an angel
She wasn't worth but she seemed to be worth
Realizing the person was not as valuable as initially thought
Oh, what a fool I have been
Acknowledging a foolish mistake
I was shure taken him
Feeling deceived or taken advantage of
Yeah, I'm her yesterday man
Reiterating the speaker's identity as her past lover
Well my friends that's what I am
Emphasizing the speaker's identity as her past lover again
I'm her yesterday man
Reiteration of being her past lover
Well my friends that's what I am
Reaffirming the speaker's status as her past lover
That's what I am, her yesterday man
Emphasizing and confirming the speaker's role as her past lover
Get some of the good kind and some of the bad kind
Mentioning different types of people, possibly reflecting on the diversity of relationships
Some of the others or in between
Referring to various kinds of individuals, including some that are neither good nor bad
But all that I can say she is the worse kind
Indicating that the woman in question is the worst kind
Well I think you know what I mean
Suggesting the listener understands the negative qualities being referred to
And yet for all I say
Despite the negative aspects mentioned, the speaker still accepts the bad
I take the bad any day
Expressing a willingness to endure the bad side of the relationship
Now I'm her yesterday man
Reiterating the speaker's identity as her past lover
Well my friends that's what I am
Emphasizing the speaker's identity as her past lover again
I'm her yesterday man
Reiteration of being her past lover
Well my friends that's what I am
Reaffirming the speaker's status as her past lover
That's what I am, her yesterday man
Emphasizing and confirming the speaker's role as her past lover
Oh come a little closer baby don't get tell me
Asking the woman to come closer and not to leave, expressing fear of abandonment
You gonna leave me, you leave me, I know that, I know that...
Asserting the speaker's awareness of a potential breakup and expressing a sense of inevitability
