They told me what youd do If I ever stayed with you. They told me that youd laugh While I cried. They told me what youd say That youd turn and walk away And find another place to play, While I cried. Now I think back on those times I didnt read between the lines. How all the things that you said Never seemed to match the things you did. Thoughts keep turning round in my mind Now I see reason and rhyme. Time spent with you has brought me something And Ive lost nothing if you are that kind. They told me what youd do If I ever stayed with you And sure enough, It all came true.
