O mister, let me stay a while and talk with you I know it's time to lock the door; the dance is through But maybe you can tell me how to take this pain Or maybe this has happened once to you Yesterday I owned the world, the ocean, and the shore My baby said she'd never make me hurt anymore Tonight we planned to mention our engagement at the dance I wish we'd never come through that door The music started playing and she walked away My heart was crying loud but not a word could I say She danced with him all night and they helped sing every song She didn't even know I was gone [ guitar ] I waited at the door until the dance was through I had to know for sure that what I'd seen was true She cuddled in his arms and then they walked out of sight She didn't even tell me goodnight Yesterday I owned the world, the ocean, and the shore My baby said she'd never make me hurt anymore Tonight we planned to mention our engagement at the dance I wish we'd never come through that door The music started playing and she walked away My heart was crying loud but not a word could I say She danced with him all night and they helped sing every song She didn't even know I was gone
