Yesterday When I Was Mad - Lyrics by Nikka Costa


Lyrics
Darling, you were wonderful, you really were quite good
I enjoyed it, though, of course, no one understood
A word of what was going on, they didn't have a clue

They couldn't understand your sense of humour like I do


You're much too kind
I smiled with murder on my mind


Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me


You have a certain quality, which really is unique

Expressionless, such irony, although your voice is weak

It doesn't really matter 'cause the music is so loud

Of course it's all on tape, but no one will find out


You hated me too

But not as much as I hated you


Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me


Then, when I was lonely
I thought again

And changed my mind


Then we posed for pictures with the competition winners

And argued about the hotel rooms, and where to go for dinner

And someone said: "
It's fabulous you're still around today,

You've both made such a little go a very long way"


Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me


Yesterday, when I was mad

And quite prepared to give up everything

Admitting, I don't believe

In anyone's sincerity, and that's what's really got to me


Then, when I was lonely
I thought again

And changed my mind
