Lyrics

Hate To Say (You Told Me So)

Lyric: Kevin Reardon & George Smith; Music: Kevin Reardon & David Edward White; Copyright 2002

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
