lyrics

Goodbye yesterday
I’m on a date
It’s getting late
Previews are on, don’t mind the wait
This English major conversates
With shorty dark brown
Well endowed
Got me like wow and i
And I sure need you now
‘cause I’m, reminiscing on how we kissed and how we loved
thought I new everything, she just knew she was in love
goodbye yesterday
didn’t know who we where
but knew who we wanted to be
me a teaching emcee
she’s to be an md
first one to lay her down and i
just can’t stay around
parts of me still to be found
at that moment it was all us
puppy love, no doggy lust
the future crept up on us
goodbye yesterday
and the feelings that we felt
at that mall in Greenbelt
the movie we came to see
was second to you and me
teenage love endless and free
remember how it use to be
last dollar on the ticket, popcorn was the last dime
treasured every touch like the last time
goodbye yesterday
when love was enough
that’s what movies taught us
that’s what six dollars bought us
take me away so quickly
wish I would but
can’t take you with me
memories are the muse for this song
highlights are right are never wrong
memories are so strong
we stayed just a little too long
and now it’s time for me to move on
bye-bye-bye-bye-bye…
