I Could Have Told You Songtext

von Shirley Horn

I could have told you he'd hurt you,
He'd love you awhile then desert you,
If only you'd asked I could have told you so!
I could have saved you some of that crying,
Yes I could have told you he's lying,
But you were so in love and didn't want to know!

I hear him now as I toss and turn and try to sleep,
I can hear him right now making promises he's never gonna keep!

And soon it's all over and done with,
He'll find someone new to have fun with,
Through all of my tears I could have told you so!

You're hurt now 'cause it's over, all over and done with,
He's found someone new to have fun with,
Through all of my tears I could have told you so,
But you didn't want to know, I could have told you so!
