Lyrics

Verse:
Well you kept telling me that all my running 'round was bunk
This chasing after every pretty face would leave me in a funk
I guess that you don't understand the kind of man I am
I was made for chasing women ... I do it every chance I can

So, I took myself another chance when I saw her standing there.
She was all that heaven offers, with green eyes and auburn hair.
But you just laughed and shook your head when I finally realized
She took my money ... she's not heaven ... she's a devil in disguise

Chorus:
And I hate to say, "You told me so" ... 'specially when it's true
But I was so darned wrong ... and you were right
You said you know what's best for me ... but I was such a fool
So, I hate to say, "You told me so" ... but I just might tonight

Verse:
When I found myself a new girl, you said she'll only break my heart;
She'll set me up ... to knock me down, and tear me all apart.
You said, "Boy, just take a minute ... see the forest for the trees"
And then you smiled and all at once I got it ... you're the girl for me.

Chorus:
Well, I hate to say, "You told me so" ... but it's what I have to do
'Cause I was so darned wrong ... and you were right
You said you know what's best for me ... and Honey, that is true
I used to hate to say, "You told me so" but I will tonight ... yeah, tonight

I used to hate to say, "You told me so" ... but it's what I have to do
'Cause I was so darned wrong ... and you were right
You said you know what's best for me ... and Honey, that is true
I used to hate to say, "You told me so" but I will tonight ...
I hate to say, "You told me so" but I give up the fight ...
