I told you so

I know probably most of you know the song by now. When I saw the elimination round a couple of nights ago, it wasn't the elimination that left me breathless... (though I thought the American has made a mistake), but it was the duet by Carrrie Underwood and Randy Travis.

I remember when I was a teenage girl, I listened to Randy Travis' songs a lot. Dad is such a fan. It was the best form of sleeping pills for me back then. Especially on lazy weekend afternoons. Country musics have never taken a place in my heart & my iPod but this particular one can be a different story.

I searched Youtube for the video to listen to it again and I googled the lyric to confirmed the wordings, you know to see if what I heard was the right one.

I am not sure whether it's the tune or the lyric, but the song has got that special touch and I fell in love. I'm gonna rush to the record store to get my first ever Carrie Underwood's CD (if the song's in it). Meanwhile, here's the youtube video and lyric for sharing:




Suppose I called you up tonight and told you that I loved you
And suppose I said "I wanna come back home".
And suppose I cried and said "I think I finally learned my lesson"
And I'm tired a-spendin' all my time alone.

If I told you that I realised you're all I ever wanted
And it's killin' me to be so far away.
Would you tell me that you loved me too and would we cry together?
Or would you simply laugh at me and say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

If I got down on my knees and told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand?
Would we get that old time feelin', would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began?

Would you tell me that you'd missed me too and that you'd been so lonely
And you waited for the day that I return.
And we'd live in love forever and that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the tables finally turned?

Would you say:

"I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you come crawling back and asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you have to go
Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".

"Now I found somebody new and you will never break my heart in two again".
