I Told You So

J. Leslie McFarland

I hate to say, I told you so
Though you deserve it, because you know
You left me crying, for someone new
But all the heartache, came back to you
Now you’re begging me to take you back
I told you so, I told you so

When you were king and riding high
You thought your new love would never die
While you were laughing, I cried alone
You wouldn't even, throw me a bone
Now you’re begging me to take you back
I told you so, I told you so

The things you sew
I know you should have reap
I told you so, I told you so
You outta learn to look before you leap
I told you so, I told you so
You can’t win when you’re a jumping jack
I told you so, I told you so

I hate to say, I told you so
But listen closely, I'll say it slow
When you were leaving, I told you then
You needn't ever, come back again
So let me tell you with a last goodbye
I told you so, I told you so
So let me, let me
Tell you with a last goodbye
I told you so, I told you so
