I Told Ya So

 
INTRO
 
All I'm askin' is a moment of your time.
Just a drink and hidey ho.
You may say no--
But I'm thinkin' it's a go,
and you'll have to just forgive me
if I say, I told ya so.




VERSE 1
 
It seems like another lifetime;
a dream that I once dreamed.
I know it wasn't me and you,
but I swear it's how it seemed.


 

CHORUS A
 
Oh, the bedframe was in splinters,
just kindling for the winters shiverin' cold;
and the mattress was on fire,
combusted by desire--
for our love flowed like
a lake of melted snow,
and don't you know ...
I told ya so,
I told ya so.


 


INST. BREAK
 


VERSE 2

 
Now your touch is just as cold
as the empty fire place,
and I can't believe that only
flames were all that burned so bold.
 


 
CHORUS B
 
Yeah, the bedframe was in splinters,
just kindling for the winters shiverin' cold;
and the mattress was on fire,
combusted by desire.
For our love flowed like
a lake of melted snow.
I'm sure ya know--
I told ya so,
I told ya so.
 



CODA
 
Then the fire burned out,
and the love was gone.
Yeah, I know, I told ya so.
But why it didn't last,
I don't know.
Oh, baby, I don't know ...
I don't know.

Author Notes
Songs can come in many structures. It's difficult to judge on lyrics alone, but musicians look at lyrics all the time and make songs out of some pretty unconventional offerings. :))
