today's lonely fool

what would you say if i told you i was sorry

and that i've come to realize

life means nothing without you

would you take my hand

would you forgive this man

for ever doubting your love is true

and could you find it in your heart

to let me try and make it up to you

yesterday a jealous man

today a lonely fool

i let love slip right through my hands

with all the hurt i've handed you

i've gotta stop your love from dying

or i'll be living proof

that yesterday's jealous man

is today's lonely fool

darlin' from now on

i'll be proud when other men notice you

instead of gettin' mean and loud

like i used to do

find some mercy in your heart

and we'll make another start

at the love that we once knew

i won't hurt you anymore

i'm gonna trust you now and never question you

yesterday a jealous man

today a lonely fool

i let love slip right through my hands

with all the hurt i've handed you

i've gotta stop your love from dying

or i'll be living proof

that yesterday's jealous man

is today's lonely fool

i'm today's lonely fool
