Excuse the smirk on my face
I find it hard to erase
When you said, you said you were leaving
Wasn't funny at the time
But I knew baby in my mind
was yourself that you where deceiving.

Didn't I tell you, you'd be coming back
Didn't I tell you, I ain't having that, no, no
Now you wanna come on back to me
Talking about the way it used to be now

I hate to say I told you so
(But I told you so)
...hate to say I told you so
(But I told you so)
What you reap
Is what you sow
What goes around comes around
Now you know
And I hate to say I told you so.

What we had was bonafide
Saw green grass from the other side
Then you said you said you were leaving
I feel a cliche coming on
don't know a good thing when its gone
Well so long but who you deceiving

Didn't I tell you, you'd be coming back
Didn't I tell you, I ain't having that, no, no
Now you wanna come on back to me
Talking about the way it used to be

I hate to say I told you so
(But I told you so)
...hate to say I told you so
(But I told you so)
What you reap
Is what you sow
What goes around comes around
Now you know
And I hate to say I told you so.
