When I walk down the street,
|
See the people who stop and
|
stare and say
|
Haven't I seen that face
|
somewhere a long time ago
|
When I walk down the street,
|
See the stranger who says,
|
"Why, Hi,"With a,
|
"How you going, Buddy,"
|
When you walked
|
on by I thought I'd say hello
|
They say:
|
Haven't I seen your face before
|
Weren't you the
|
boy that used to
|
live next door,
|
Weren't you on
|
television ev'ry night
|
Haven't I seen you round
|
Take a look at me,
|
Yesterday's hero,
|
Yesterday's hero,
|
that's all I be.
|
Take a look at me,
|
Yesterday's hero
|
And Yesterday's hero
|
is all that I'm gonna be
|
If I don't get together,
|
Make a new start
|
and be somebody better,
|
All that I'll be
|
if I don't get together now.
|
When you walk down the street,
|
If you know me, then pass me by,
|
If you wonder what I'm doing
|
don't ask me why,
|
I don't read the news
|
When you walk down the street,
|
If you're sorry
|
then don't feel bad,
|
If you followed my story,
|
then just be glad,
|
You ain't in my shoes because,
|
Haven't you seen my face before,
|
Yes, I was the boy who used to
|
live next door,
|
Yes, I was on television
|
ev'ry night,
|
Haven't you seen me round.
|
Take a look at me,
|
Yesterday's hero
|
Yesterday's hero
|
that's all I be.
|
Take a look at me,
|
Yesterday's hero
|
And Yesterday's hero
|
is all that I'm gonna be
|
If I don't get together,
|
Make a new start
|
and be somebody better,
|
All that I'll be
|
if I don't get together now.
