Janis Ian - Love You More Than Yesterday lyrics

Love you more than yesterday
So much less than tomorrow
Love you more in every way
Time for pain or sorrow dee da-n'deedely dum
Dee da deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely
De dee-n'da da dee da-n'deedely dum
Dee-n'da deedely, dee-n'da-n'deedely
Dee, dum

Got your letter yesterday
In a place not far from home
Guess you know I mean what I say
When I say, "Don't leave me alone"
Well, I cheated and I lied
I broke the promises made to you
In the best of faith
You don't know how I cry
I've been such a foolish child
Didn't know I could feel this way
But baby, I haven't changеd

'Cause I love you more than yеsterday
(Love you more) so much less than tomorrow
Love you more in every way (Love you more)
Time for pain or sorrow dee da-n'deedely dum
Dee da deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely
De dee-n'da da dee da-n'deedely dum
Dee-n'da deedely, dee-n'da-n'deedely
Dee, aahh

Used to be, I'd give my word
Into anything you please
Now I know what it is to be hurt
It's an emotional strip tease
I guess I should have tried
But opportunity passed my way
And I grabbed for a-whatever she gave
You know I'm nothing more
Than the cheapest kind of whore
I gave it for free today
But take me back again

'Cause I love you more than yesterday
(Love you more) so much less than tomorrow
Love you more in every way (Love you more)
Time for pain or sorrow dee da-n'deedely dum
Dee da deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely
De dee-n'da da dee da-n'deedely dum
Dee-n'da deedely, twee-n'da-n'deedely aahh

Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
Papa, please be home
Don't leave me alone, I need you so
