I Could Have Saved You the Time

(Jack Clement)



You wanted to know that you could break my heart

But I could have told you, you could

You just had to see if I'd go to pieces

But I could have told you I would.



Just think of the time not to mention the trouble

That you threw away on a heart like mine

If you just have to prove that you could destroy me

I could have saved you the time.



--- Instrumental ---



And so now you know that I can be foolish

But I could have told you it's true

And so now you see that I have a glass heart

But I could have told you I do.



There may come a time you may run into trouble

You might find the need for a love like mine

If you're wondering which fool will be waiting for you

I could have saved you the time...
