I Told You So
Carrie Underwood/Randy Travis Lyrics

Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
Imagine if I took the risk to confess my love to you over the phone.

And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And let's say I also expressed my desire to come back to you.

And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
I would even show vulnerability and admit that I understand my mistakes now.

And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.
Being alone has become tiresome, and I deeply want to be with you.

If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
If I confessed that I have come to the realization that all I want is you.

And it's killin' me to be so far away.
The distance between us is unbearable, and it pains me greatly.

Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Would you reciprocate your love for me and cry tears of joy with me?

Or would you simply laugh at me and say
Or will you mock me with an "I told you so" and reject me?

"I told you so, oh I told you so
"I warned you that this could happen, that you would come back looking for love."

I told you some day you'd come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I knew that you would one day realize your mistake and try to come back to me.

Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
But now, I have moved on and found someone who will not break my heart again."

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
If I begged for your forgiveness and promised to be forever yours.

Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would you forgive me and take me back as your partner?

Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
Would we reminisce the good memories and spend hours laughing and talking like we used to?

The way we did when our love first began?
Like we did when our love was new and exciting?

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you've been so lonely
Would you also confess that you missed me and have been lonely without me?

And you waited for the day that I return.
That you have been waiting patiently for me to come back to you.

And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
And we could spend the rest of our lives together as soulmates, with no one else but me as your partner.

Or would you say the tables finally turned?
Or will you say that now that I am back, the roles are now reversed?
