He said he thought he knew me
But my name was hard to place
He'd seen my picture somewhere
How could he forget that face?

You know that I believed him
When he wrote my number down
But I didn't get the call
Didn't hear a thing at all
Guess the whole world's out of town

Yesterday can't hurt me
I bet tomorrow will
If someone isn't shaking me up
They're holding me still
If Hollywood don't want me
Maybe it's for my own good
I'd like to pay the bill and go home
If only I could

Yesterday can't hurt me
Yesterday can't hurt me

No footprints on the sidewalk
To show that I've been here
Like those who came before me
I'll just quietly disappear

Well, you don't have to buy me
A one-way ticket home
'Cause there's nowhere I can go
Where my feelings wouldn't show
Got to face them here alone

Yesterday can't hurt me
I bet tomorrow will
If someone isn't shaking me up
They're holding me still
If Hollywood don't want me
Maybe it's for my own good
Oh, I'd like to pay the bill and go home
If only I could

Yesterday can't hurt me
I bet tomorrow will
If someone isn't shaking me up
They're holding me still
If Hollywood don't want me
Maybe it's for my own good
I'd like to pay the bill and go home
If only I could
