MARCIE BLANE

TOLD YOU SO (1963)

We told you so, We told you so
ya wouldnt listen well now you know

i know warned me the boys no good
no one can change him i thought i could
and i was doing fine until lastnight
well girls, you were right!

We told you so, We told you so
ya wouldnt listen well now you know

i couldnt help it you know his charms
you know what happens when your in his arms
i never thought that they would find a gun
well girls, i was wrong

We told you so We told you so
ya wouldnt listen well now you know

he said he loved me (we said he'd break your heart)
and i believe him (that boy is very smart)
why didnt you stop me
(because you stayed away Marcie what more can we say)
i should of listend i was a fool
i never knew that boys could be so cruel
but i can never say i wasn't cold
you all told me so

We told you so', We told you so
ya wouldnt listen well now you know

We told you so, We told you so (you told me so)
ya wouldnt listen well (you told me so) now you know





We told you so, We told you so
i wouldnt listen well now i know
