Lyrics

I guess you know that yesterday
I ran your garden over, girl
I ran your garden over, girl
just yesterday

I guess you know that yesterday
I ran your garden over, girl
I ran your garden over, girl
just yesterday

eight in the mornin'
late for work again
ain't lookin' where I'm goin'
just wonderin' where I've been

I've been workin' so hard
for overtime hours
that I've overlooked hours
that goes to flowers

and I've been tryin' so hard
to fit days into minutes
that as soon as I'm finished
I've hit the spinach

I guess you know that yesterday
I ran your garden over, girl
I ran your garden over, girl
just yesterday

I guess you know that yesterday
I ran your garden over, girl
I ran your garden over, girl
just yesterday

yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yesterday, yes

how could a girl with a thumb so green
be in love with a man who's become so mean?
oh I could do so much better than yesterday
I know I could do so much better than yesterday, yeah

yodelodelodelay-hee, yodelay-ay-oh

I bet you know that yesterday
I ran your garden over, girl
I ran your garden over, girl
just yesterday

but you should know I'll find a way
to plant your garden over, girl
I'll plant your garden over, girl
like yesterday
