Song Description

Dismissal of a returned ex-lover

Lyrics

She had control right from the start
I lost my pride, and I lost my heart
She spent my money, drank my beer
Took the car and left me here
She just disappeared

Then, one day back in the Spring
I heard the phone start to ring
And you can guess the shock that came
When I looked down and saw her name
My old flame

What came over me, I still don't know
But I picked up and skipped hello
And simply said

I'm doing okay yeah yeah yeah yeah
I learned to live without you while you were away
You thought that you could have your fun
And call me up when you were done
I bet you never guessed you'd hear my say
You're so yesterday

A shortened breath was all I heard
Guess she was at a loss for words
I must admit it felt good
I may have said more than I should
But she understood

I'm giving up on feeling blue
And you can't have your cake and eat it too
Long story short:

I'm doing okay yeah yeah yeah yeah
I learned to live without you while you were away
You thought that you could have your fun
And call me up when you were done
I bet you never guessed you'd hear my say
You're so yesterday

Don't get me wrong; I'm glad you called
But it's like hearing from the past
And I'm afraid that's where you'll stay
I'm moving on and moving fast

I'm doing okay yeah yeah yeah yeah
I learned to live without you while you were away
You thought that you could have your fun
And call me up when you were done
I bet you never guessed you'd hear my say
You're so yesterday yeah yeah yeah yeah
I learned to live without you while you were away
You thought that you could have your fun
And call me up when you were done
I bet you never guessed you'd hear my say
You're so yesterday
