The Sweet - Yesterday's Hero lyrics

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 ask you for fortune and fame

I was happy to do with the love

You made me a hero, and I played the game

Well I gave all I had

But I guess it just wasn't enough

Now listen to them say

Here he comes, Yesterday's Hero (2x)

Well you call me the best

now you call me a yesterday's hero

Have you seen a tiger, when he is in danger

How he runs from the scene of the crime

Well 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 say

Here he comes, Yesterday's Hero (2x)

Well you call me the best

now you call me a 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, a Yesterday's Hero (2x)

I feel the best

Now I won't be a Yesterday's Hero

(Yesterday's hero) yesterday's hero (yesterday's hero)

Ya call me yesterday's hero (yesterday's hero) (till fade)
