That Was Yesterday Lyrics - Donna Fargo

You know, I've always believed 

That when you feel somethin' 

Especially somethin' good for someone 

You shouldn't keep it from them 

You should let him know 

But I also believe that 

If you think it's love 

There's really no need to bring it up 

If you know there's no chance for it to grow 

But it seems like 

I'm always coming up with contradictions 

Because now I find that 

What I believe and what I feel 

Are two very different things 

And those feelings I've kept all to myself 

Are gonna come out now 

Even though they've changed 

So you see 

I guess I was right in one way 

That I never told you this 

And I don't really know why I'm telling you now 

But I'd just kinda like you to know that 

There couldn't be a you and me 

I might've changed my life for you 

And you might've changed for me 

If there weren't so many ifs and buts 

And if you had wanted it to be. 

But because of the way I am 

And the way you are 

We never took the chance, did we? 

Call it respect, because we're not free 

Call it fear of rejection because of our pride 

Or call it just plain old common sense 

That it would be just too risky 

And too stick a situation 

Because we wouldn't know exactly where we were going 

And we'd be afraid to take the ride 

Call it whatever, but I wanted you to know that 

I like you very much 

And you're the kind of person I could love 

You're honest, sincere, compassionate, not afraid 

To be too gentle and not afraid to be too strong and 

You got that certain kind of something 

People are always looking for and rarely find and 

Never seem to get enough of and somehow 

It doesnt seem wrong to tell you that 

No, we never kissed and never touched each other 

But our hearts have and our souls have and 

If we gaved them half the chance 

Look out, for I'll bet they can start a fire 

That nobody in the whole world could put out 

But that was yesterday, wasn't it? 

And things are so different now 

See I was right not to ever tell you 

Because I always knew 

It would of never really had a chance to grow 

And though I'll use my better judgement again 

And never mail this letter 

I still kinda wanted you to know!
