I Told You So
Allister Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You met this girl the other day
You said that she was the one
Who'd never get away
But she left you for another guy
I tried to tell you that she'd never stay
But you never listen
So now I wanna say

I told you so
She'll never come back

you met this girl the other day
You said that she was the one
Who'd never get away
But she left you for another guy
I tried to tell you that she'd never stay
But you never listen
So now I wanna say

I told you so
She'll never come back

The repetition of the lyrics throughout the song emphasizes the regret that the singer feels for not being able to make his friend understand the truth.

She'll never come back
That girl will not return to you
