I Could Have Told You

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
