I Could Have Told You - Arthur Prysock, Count Basie

I could have told you she would hurt you,

She’d love you awhile and 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 she was lying,

But you were in love and you didn’t want to know.

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

I hear her now making promises she’ll never keep;

And now it’s over and done with,

She’ll find someone new to have fun with!

Through all of my tears I could have told you so.

And now it’s over and done with,

She’ll find someone new to have fun with!

Through all of my tears I could have told you so,

Through all of my tears I could have told you so.
