What would you say if I told you I was sorry
And that Ive 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 Ive handed you
Ive gotta stop your love from dying
Or Ill be living proof
That yesterdays jealous man
Is todays lonely fool
Darlin from now on
Ill 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 well make another start
At the love that we once knew
I wont hurt you anymore
Im 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 Ive handed you
Ive gotta stop your love from dying
Or Ill be living proof
That yesterdays jealous man
Is todays lonely fool
Im todays lonely fool
