Born Yesterday

Living in the city where the walls have ears

People judge you by the words they hear

Shake their heads while they chew your name

And then they write it on a wall

People see you and they turn their heads

Whisper words you might have said

Point to a spot where you may have bled

Then they write it on a wall

He lost his mind today

She threw his clothes away

The love they thought would last just flew away

She lost her mind today

He threw her ring away

They act as if they were born yesterday

And I wonder whose heart hurts the worst

And who knows whose heart was broke first

No one gives them the love they need

Or helps them through their time of grief

After all, it could be you or me

We're just human after all

He lost his mind today

She threw his clothes away

The love they thought would last just flew away

She lost her mind today

He threw her ring away

They act as if they were born yesterday

And I wonder whose heart hurts the worst

And who knows whose heart was broke first

They lost their minds today

They threw their love away

They act as if they were born yesterday

They lost their love today

They threw it all away

They act as if they were born yesterday
