i could have told you so

i could have told you she'd hurt you

love you a while then desert you

if only you'd asked i could have told you so

i could have saved you some crying

i could have told you he was lying

if only you'd asked i could have told you so

i see her there as i toss and turn and try to sleep

i see him there making promises he'll never keep

and soon it's over and done with

find someone new to have fun with

if only you'd asked i could have told you so

i could have told you she'd hurt you

love you a while then desert you

if only you'd asked i could have told you so

i could have saved you a whole lot of crying

i could have told you he was lying

if only you'd asked i could have told you so

i see her there as i toss and turn and try to sleep

i see him there with promises he'll never keep

and soon it's over and done with

find someone new to have fun with

if only you'd asked i could have told you so

with all of my tears i could have told you so
