[Intro] [percussive acoustic guitar strumming, bass enters with melodic slide] [Verse 1] [tenor male vocals] Well, we danced the night away to closing time Staring into each other's eyes When the last song played, we were lost in the embrace Well, I just got to say, I like what I see Beauty and personality, girl, I think you're great in every way [Chorus] [vocal harmonies enter, driving drums] Thanks for inviting me back to your place But can we slow down the pace? 'Cause I've been burned and I've learned the hard way Now I know it's worth the wait Baby, make no mistake, don't think I don't want you 'Cause I want you yesterday [Instrumental Break] [acoustic guitar solo with melodic fills, steady drum beat] [Verse 2] Well, I thought we'd exchange our names and numbers So we could get to know each other And maybe try and arrange a time and a date 'Cause I'm at a stage in my life Now I finally realize I always lose when I play in the fast lane [Chorus] Girl, thanks for inviting me back to your place (yeah) But can we slow down the pace? 'Cause I've been burned and I've learned the hard way Now I know it's worth the wait Baby, make no mistake, don't think I don't want you 'Cause I want you yesterday [Bridge] [drums drop to kick and hi-hat only] I know it seems strange coming from a man But I don't want a one-night stand If you don't feel the same, that's a chance I gotta take But don't think I don't want you 'cause I want you yesterday [Chorus] [full band returns] Girl, thanks for inviting me back to your place Yeah, but can we slow down the pace? 'Cause I've been burned and I've learned the hard way Now I know it's worth the wait So baby, make no mistake, don't think I don't want you 'Cause I want you yesterday Don't think I don't want you 'cause I want you yesterday [Outro] [falsetto vocalizations] (Yesterday, yeah, yeah, yeah) [acoustic guitar strumming fades out]
