I TOLD YOU SO

(William Hart / Tom Peterson (m & l) )

As sung by Randy Travis 1987 < Always & Forever >

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I love you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone".

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say.

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawlin' back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began.

Would you tell me that you've missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned.

Would you say "I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawlin' back and askin' me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
