Told You So

Barenaked Ladies · Stunt [1998]

I never jumped in and rescued you

But I wanted to

I didnt tell you which way to go

'cause I thought you'd know

you had a problem with your new-found wealth

You brought it on yourself

I never told you I told you so

But I told you so



Chorus:

Have to let it go

Its time to let it go

Now I cant believe

Perhaps one day I'll grieve

Or I never will



I never told you I agreed with you

I dont think I do

I wasnt sure what the whole thing meant

But I'm glad you went

I never thought that it could be painless

But it is I guess

I had myself fooled into needing you

Did I fool you too?



Chorus



A viral infection that can incubate for years

Caused by affection fallen deep into arrears

No medication to rocure

Makes me pure, there's no cure, I am sure



I never mentioned how I've prayed for you

And now I've paid for you

I never said that I would wait for you

its too late for you



Chorus
