"I Told You So" lyrics

"I Told You So"

I heard it on the grapevine
Straight from the horse's mouth
They're saying on the grapevine
That he's heading north and you're going south

I hate to say it, but I told you so
Before the curtain fell, I told you so
I've known for a long time it couldn't last
Now you're just a memory in his long and distant past

How can you tell someone who is starry-eyed
Her Dr. Jekyll's really Mr. Hyde
I know, I've seen it all before
I loved him once, but that was long ago
Well, I told you so

I tried to warn you, I tried to let you know
I hoped I wouldn't have to say that I told you so
But he's losing interest and you feel like a bore
Then one day you wake inside to hear a closing door

How can you tell someone who is mystified
That vintage champagne's really cyanide
I know, I've seen it all before
I loved him once, but now the stars don't shone [sic]
Well, I told you so
