(Could've Said) I Told You So Lyrics

Could've said I told you so
You would never listen though
I tried to tell you once or twice
You would never take advice

Could've said I told you so
You would never listen though
I tried to tell you once or twice
You would never take advice from me

I woke up this morning and much to my surprise
A letter on her pillow said she found some other guy
I thought I was dreamin'
And I thought that she cared
But when I looked around the room
She wasn't anywhere

I didn't know she'd got her things together
And I didn't know she had a heart of ice
And now my friends admit they knew about her
I guess I should have followed their advice

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Could've said I told you so
You would never listen though
I tried to tell you once or twice
You would never take advice

The letter said "I'm sorry, I guess I'll never learn
I found myself another man with lots of cash to burn
It may not last forever, but right up to that day
He's gonna be my band of gold until I walk away"

And now I've got to get myself together
Well, I didn't know she had a heart of ice
'Cause now my friends admit they knew about her
Well, I guess I should have followed their advice

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

I'm gonna find someone whose heart is in their soul
Not just a pretty face that leaves me in the cold
Someone who really needs me like needed her
And if she should ever call, well, I'll be the one who has it all

I woke up this morning and much to my surprise
A letter on her pillow said she found some other guy
I thought I was dreamin'
And I thought that she cared
But when I looked around the room
She wasn't anywhere

I didn't know she'd got her things together
And I didn't know she had a heart of ice
And now my friends admit they knew about her
Well, I guess I should have followed their advice

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty woman your wife
So from my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you

Could've said I told you so
You would never listen though
I tried to tell you once or twice
You would never take advice

Could've said I told you so
You would never listen though
I tried to tell you once or twice
You would never take advice from me
