ROLLING STONES LYRICS

THAT GIRL BELONGS TO YESTERDAY
(aka My Only Girl)

Recorded by The Stones but never released. Gene Pitney recorded it and his single became the first released Jagger/Richards song by another artist in late 1963, though George Bean was the first artist to record a Jagger/Richards song, "It Should Be You", which was not released till early 1964.

THAT GIRL BELONGS TO YESTERDAY
(Jagger/Richards)

Last night I needed you so bad
I was alone and feeling sad
But now that I recall, you left me after all
The only girl I've ever had

I never ever made you cry
No no, I didn't even try
You promised you'd be true, you said you'd love me too
My only girl told me a lie

Maybe there'll come a day, when I can smile and say
She used to be my girl

But now there's nothing left to say
She only wanted me for play
I learned my lesson fast, but now I know at last
That girl belongs to yesterday
