[Chorus]
I did that yesterday, oh
I heard that years ago when I was a kid
I didn’t want to do it years ago, but I did
I did that yesterday when I was a kid

[Verse 1]
Weeknd, I like your outfit
YOLO, you only live once
Dude kept the beat “As It Was”
John Legend, that’s Josh Groban
I guess I’m flattered, maybe
All good, we all steal, baby
Y’all ready for the next fad?
Chris Hedges’ next

[Chorus]
I did that yesterday, oh
I did that years ago when I was a kid
I didn’t want to do it yesterday, but I did
I did that yesterday when I was a kid

[Verse 2]
You don’t get it, it’s a pity
Maybe you’ll catch up sooner
Rather than later, baby
It’s lonely in the future
You don’t get it, it’s a pity
Maybe you’ll catch up sooner
Rather than later, sorry
It’s lonely in the—

[Chorus]
I heard that twenty fu*king years ago, I did
Fantano, word for word, when I was a kid
Stick to the technical ’cause that’s great
But you would not recognize art in any age

[Bridge]
On the first date we had
I jumped in the water, yeah
The costume is soaking wet
I’d like to dry it
Join me as I pray for the grace to be merciful
Help me not lay waste ’cause it’s not their fault
I don’t care, I don’t care
Anybody try, name a place, I’m there

[Chorus]
I wore that years ago, I did
I liked that years ago when I was a kid
And in a hundred thousand days from now, I’ll say
“I did that yesterday when I was a kid”
