So your new love let your feelings sad and blue

And it broke your heart in two to see him go

Now you know the lonely nights that I've gone through

And I'm glad that I can say I told you so

When you cry yourself to sleep remember me

Think of all the things I told you long ago

You know how it feels to be the used to be and I'm glad that I can say I told you so

[ fiddle - steel ]

So your someone broke your heart you realize

That the time has come to reap just what you sowed

For somebody else told you the same old lie and I'm glad that I can say I told you so

When you see me with the smile upon my face

And the sadness of an achin' heart you know

I'll be happy with another in your place and I'm glad that I can say I told you so

[ guitar ]

When you miss the happiness you'll never find

Think of me each time the bitter teardrops flow

But you have no mercy on this heart of mine and I'm glad that I can say I told you so
