I Told You So

by Natalie Cole

Lyrics
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
