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 youYesterday 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
Yesterday's jealous man is today's lonely foolDarling from now on I'll be proud when other men notice you
Instead of getting 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 youYesterday 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
Yesterday's jealous man is today's lonely fool
