Dance with Yesterday Lyrics by Joi

Tennessee Slim Is the Bomb

2006

[Verse 1]
He said I was delightful and funny
A little bit peculiar but sweet as honey
I'm something like a pimp but no not really
I'm so sophisticated and silly
He said I was his greatest inspiration
The wind beneath his wings, his liberation
He said he never met nobody like me
That made him wanna settle down and start a family
[Chorus]
I miss the love we had now and again
How could you ever turn your back on your best friend
Too bad we cannot go back and dance with
Dance with yesterday
[Verse 2]
Misery was lonely so she called you
You chose her over me but I forgive you
You thought that you could trust her but she tricked you
And now she left you with nobody to turn to
And all the love you had for me it turned to hate
You could not fix the damage, it was just too late
And now you have no peace and you're unhappy
I tried to help you out but you just would not let me
[Chorus]
I miss the love we had now and again
How could you ever turn your back on your best friend
Too bad we cannot go back and dance with
Dance with yesterday
[Verse 3]
Love's a winding road of many twists and turns
Pack your aloe vera 'cause it's gonna burn
Don't take it for granted or make it wait too long
You never know how good it is until it's gone
And I thought that I would die the day I had to leave you
I cried so many tears but I did what I had to do
So send me a postcard or a letter
Let me know you love the next one better
[Chorus]
I miss the love we had now and again
How could you ever turn your back on your best friend
We cannot ever go back and dance with
Dance with yesterday
