So your new love let your feelings sad and blue And it broke your heart in two to see him go Now you know the lonely nights that I've gone through And I'm glad that I can say I told you so When you cry yourself to sleep remember me Think of all the things I told you long ago You know how it feels to be the used to be and I'm glad that I can say I told you so [ fiddle - steel ] So your someone broke your heart you realize That the time has come to reap just what you sowed For somebody else told you the same old lie and I'm glad that I can say I told you so When you see me with the smile upon my face And the sadness of an achin' heart you know I'll be happy with another in your place and I'm glad that I can say I told you so [ guitar ] When you miss the happiness you'll never find Think of me each time the bitter teardrops flow But you have no mercy on this heart of mine and I'm glad that I can say I told you so
