I Could Have Told You

I Could Have Told You - Dinah Washington

I could have told you he'd hurt you

He'd love you awhile then desert you

If only you'd asked I could have told you so

I could have saved you some crying

Yes I could have told you he's lying

But you were in love and didn't want to know

I hear her now as I turn and toss and try to sleep

Yes I hear her now making promises he's never keep

And soon it's all over and done with

She'll find someone new to have fun with

Through all of my tears I could have told you so

I hear her now as I turn and toss and try to sleep

I hear her now making promises she's never keep

Yes soon it's all over and done with

She's found someone new to have fun with

Through all of my tears I could have told you so

Baby I will have to do what you ask me

I could have told you so
