I Told You

Verse 1
Looking in the window of a Texaco
The lights are off they've all gone home
And I wish that we could do the same
You told me I should use a map
Told me I should stop and ask
Or at least get gas, before it rained
Chorus
So go ahead and say it, I know that you're dying to
And I could not resist it if I was standing in your shoes
Say I told you so, I told you so
Verse 2
Laying down her at the bottom of a ladder
Thinking about a chiropractor
Pretending this don't really hurt
You told me I should call someone
Someone strong, someone young
Well, honey sometimes you can be a jerk
Verse 2
Laying down her at the bottom of a ladder
Thinking about a chiropractor
Pretending I don't really hurt
(Cause) You told me I should hire/call someone
Someone strong, someone young
Now it's/And what's killing me to watch you smirk
(And what hurts the most is your little/to watch your smirk)
Verse 2
Laying down her at the bottom of a ladder
Thinking about a chiropractor
As I'm sucking on this pile of dirt
You told me I should hire/call someone
Someone strong, someone young
Now it's killing me to watch you smirk
Verse 2
Laying down her at the bottom of a ladder
Listening to the sound of muffled laughter
Pretending I don't really hurt/ (Well, sometimes you're such a jerk)
You told me I should hire/call someone
Someone strong, someone young
Now it's killing me to watch you smirk
Verse 2
Laying down her at the bottom of a ladder
Listening to the sound of muffled laughter
Baby, you'd be dead if looks could kill
Yes, you told me I should hire/call someone
Someone strong, someone young
Well next time I maybe/I guess I will
Bridge
I remember when I met you, girl
You said we'd always be together
And your laughing/smiling as you told me
How I'd love you forever
Tag
Oh, go on now before you explode
Say I told you so...I told you so
