Yesterday's Hero Lyrics - The Sweet

We play for the fun 

and we run for the glory 

And it all seems to happen so fast 

you used to love me 

but now you ignore me 

and my name is a thing of the past 

I didn't rescue 

for fortune or fame 

I was happy to do it for love 

you made me a hero 

and I played the game 

well I gave what I hade 

and I guess it just wasn't enough

Now listen to them say 

'Here he comes... 

Yesterday's Hero 

'Here he comes... 

Yesterday's Hero 

Well you called me the best 

now you call me yesterday's hero 

Have you seen a tiger 

when he is in danger 

How he runs from the scene of the crime 

But I didn't listen 

to my intuition 

it was there in the back of my mind 

I guess I should have seen it coming 

Well it's happened before 

And it was only a matter of time

Now everybody says 

'Here he comes... 

Yesterday's Hero 

'Here he comes... 

Yesterday's Hero 

Well you called me the best 

now you call me yesterday's hero 

(Yesterday's Hero) Yesterday's Hero 

(Yesterday's Hero) 

We play for the fun 

and we run for the glory 

And it all seems to happen so fast 

you used to love me 

but now you ignore me 

and my name is a thing of the past 

Oh Yeah, 

Now listen to them say 

'Here he comes... 

Yesterday's Hero 

'Here he comes... 

Yesterday's Hero 

I'm still the best 

and I won't be Yesterday's Hero 

(Yesterday's Hero) Yesterday's Hero 

(Yesterday's Hero) You call me Yesterday's Hero 

(Yesterday's Hero) You call me Yesterday's Hero
