When we walk down the street
See the people who stop and stare and say
Haven't I seen that face somewhere a long time ago
When we walk down the street
See the stranger who says 'why, hi'
With a 'how you going, buddy'
When you walked on by, I thought I'd say hello
They say: haven't I seen your face before
Weren't you the boy that used to live next door
Weren't you on television ev'ry night
Haven't I seen you round
We don't wanna be a yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero, that's all we'll be
We don't wanna be a yesterday's hero
And yesterday's hero
Is all that we're gonna be if we don't get together
Make a new plan and be constantly better
All that we'll be if we don't get together now
When we walk down the street
If you know me, then pass me by
If you wonder what I'm doing
Don't ask me why, I don't read the news
When we walk down the street
If you're sorry then don't feel bad
If you followed my story
Then just be glad * you ain't in my shoes
Because haven't you seen my face before
Yes, I was the boy who used to live next door
Yes, I was on television every night
Haven't you seen me round
We don't wanna be a yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero, that's all we'll be
We don't wanna be a yesterday's hero
And yesterday's hero
Is all that we're gonna be if we don't get together
Make a new plan and be constantly better
All that we'll be if we don't get together now
Ladies and gentlemen:
The Bay City Rollers!
Ev'rybody move back - move back, ladies - will you go back - back!
We don't wanna be yesterday's hero
Yesterday's hero - no no!
We don't wanna be yesterday's hero, no
Yesterday's hero - no no! ....
