Hate To Say You Told Me So

Well, you kept telling me that all my running 'round was bunk

This chasing after every pretty face would leave me in a funk

I guess that you don't understand the kind of man I am

I was made for chasing women, I do it every chance I can

So, I took myself another chance when I saw her standing there

She was all that heaven offers, with green eyes and auburn hair

But you just laughed and shook your head when I finally realized

She took my money, she's not heaven, she's a devil in disguise

And I hate to say, you told me so, 'specially when it's true

But I was so darned wrong and you were right

You said you know what's best for me but I was such a fool

So, I hate to say, you told me so, but I just might tonight

When I found myself a new girl, you said she'll only break my heart

She'll set me up to knock me down, and tear me all apart

You said, Boy, just take a minute, see the forest for the trees

And then you smiled and all at once I got it, you're the girl for me

Well, I hate to say, you told me so but it's what I have to do

Cause I was so darned wrong and you were right

You said you know what's best for me and Honey, that is true

I used to hate to say, you told me so but I will tonight

Yeah, tonight

I used to hate to say, you told me so but it's what I have to do

Cause I was so darned wrong and you were right

You said you know what's best for me and Honey, that is true

I used to hate to say, you told me so but I will tonight

I hate to say, you told me so but I give up the fight
