Told You So
Barenaked Ladies
I never jumped in and rescued you,
But I wanted to.
I didn't tell you which way to go,
'Cause I thought you'd know.
You had a problem with your new-found wealth.
Brought it on yourself.
I never told you "I told you so,"
But I told you so.
Have to let it go.
It's time to let it go.
Chorus:
Now I can't believe,
It took so long to leave.
Perhaps one day I'll grieve,
Or I never will.
I never told you I agreed with you,
I don't think I do.
I wasn't sure quite what the whole thing meant,
But I'm glad you went.
I never thought that it could be painless,
But it is I guess.
I had myself fooled into needing you.
Did I fool you too?
Have to let it go.
It's time to let it go.
Chorus
Viral infection that can incubate for years.
Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears.
No medication to procure.
Makes me pure.
There's no cure.
I am sure.
I never mentioned how I prayed for you.
Now I payed for you.
I never said I would wait for you.
It's too late for you.
It's time to let it go.
Chorus
Or I never will. (2x)
I never will. (4x)
(Oh why?) (9x)
