I Told You So Lyrics
You said you needed your space
I wasn’t where you wanted to be
I didn’t stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so how surprised am I
To see you here tonight
(Chorus)
Oh, can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
Sometimes in our life
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we’re on
Is headin’ in the same direction
Well when it comes to you and me
We’re right where I know we should be
(Chorus)
Oh can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
Sometimes it’s like we’re deep in nothing but love
The slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Remind me please
(Chorus)
Oh can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
You don’t gotta say you’re sorry baby
Oh, can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
And I won’t say I told you so
But I told you so
Shoulda known better than to leave me baby
Shoulda known better than to leave me darlin’
I wasn’t where you wanted to be
I didn’t stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
To see you here tonight
Oh, can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we’re on
Is headin’ in the same direction
We’re right where I know we should be
Oh can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
The slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Remind me please
Oh can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
You don’t gotta say you’re sorry baby
Oh, can’t you see
That for worse or for better we’re better together
Please just come back home
No don’t say that you’re sorry
And I won’t say I told you so
And I won’t say I told you so
But I told you so
Shoulda known better than to leave me baby
Shoulda known better than to leave me darlin’

About a guy who had the faith that his relationship with a girl would work. She didnt believe him but eventually comes back to him and he doesnt wanna hear sorry and doesnt wanna say "I told you so"
Which is amazing! Cos most guys have moved on-hell they move on before the relationship is even over and usually dump the girl. I bet he did after she came back.

I have to rethink that. Ya have to have alot of balls to go back to someone. For me once it's done-it's done.

I love the beat!!
i love this song and i don't love many country songs. A guy who loves a girl so much that he only wants her to be happy so he moves aside to let her do her thing. she fails and comes back and he's the better person by pretty much saying don't mention it and i won't mention either. hehe. finally the guy is the one to say i'll let you back in.

this is basically my life right now...i liked a girl she didn't think we would work out and now she's realized she made a mistake..that's why i love this song so much right now, i love songs that fit me :)
and this song has an awesome beat to it and an awesome guitar in it
I was listening to an interview that Keith did about this song, and he said that it was supposed to have a tongue n cheek attitude about it. Basically, it's about being with someone, letting them go, but knowing the whole time that they are going to come back to you. The beat is outrageous on this song. It sounds even better live :)
basically what everyone else said. i just love in the end when he kinda rubs it in the chick's face a little bit when he's like, "but i told you so." and the the "you shoulda know better than to leave me baby" i love that part too. awesome songggg.
That for worse or for better we’re better together
love that line... =]
I'm in love with this song. Oh my gosh. It's amazing. I just love the attitude he has in it. He wants her to be happy and knows that she'll be happy with him, but when she wants to go looking for someone else to be happy with, he lets her. Then she comes back. It's just SO great.
I'm kind of in the same situation. I'm in love with my best friend, and I know he'd be happy with me, but he doesn't want to believe it, yet I just have this gut feeling that we're supposed to be together. Maybe that's why I love it so much. But, it's just AMAZING.
And I agree with emotina. It's INCREDIBLE live. And the video...aahh. I love it. Especially when he says 'But I told you so. The way he says it is just...ahh. I can't get over it.
this song is amazing. i think the best keith urban song. i'm not a country music fan,but i just love keith's music.
i agree,this song is awesome live. he has a marching band come out at the end of it.
and it seems like everyone has the correct meaning of the song. =]
