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 and sigh

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 show

Well, I told you so
