Lou Rawls - The Essential Lou Rawls

I Wish It Were Yesterday

Something just ain't right
As I turn out of the light
And go to bed
Pictures of you in my head

Beneath the hazy purple sky
You incidentally lied
I gotta say
I'd be better off dead

Through the good news and the bad
The happy and the sad
I was always true
How come I feel I'm losing you

I wish it was yesterday
'Cause today pulls me under
Place your bets on tomorrow's game
I wish it was yesterday

I need a lucky number
Well, something's gotta change
I wish it was yesterday today

If I could only find a way
To make you stop and say
You won't let go
As you walk out that door

Tuesday morning blues
I'm workin' on the clues
And you know
I feel worse than before

As I hand dry the roses
That you sent
This only just began
How come it feels like the end?

Something just ain't right
As I turn out the light
And go to bed
Pictures of you in my head
