I Could Have Told You - Shirley Horn

作词：Jimmy Oliver

作曲：Jimmy Oliver

I could have told you

she'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 of that crying

I could have told you

she's lying

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

I see him now

as

I toss and turn and try to sleep

I see hear now making promises

He's never keep

And soon it's all over and done with

He'll find someone new to have fun with

Through all of my tears I could have told you so

But you're hurt now

I didn't want

To know
