Testo I Told You So - Chris Smither

I Told You So

"Nice day," "You too"
Drop dead, baby, how are you?
"Get it on" meanin' "go to hell"
"Awesome, dude" is hard to spell
It's the way we talk when we've got nothin' to say
Talk about a mind on holiday
Black and white, no shades of gray
Are you sorry you came? You should have stayed away

"I think", but not too well
"I feel" is an easy sell
"I hear" what I wanna hear
"I swear", but it's insincere
It's the way we think when we don't know how
And its way too hard, let's just drop it now
One soundbite and you take a bow
Don't take time, it's not allowed

I live and you die
I win, you sigh
'Bout your bad luck, baby, let me hear you laugh
If it's worth a million bucks then you could give me half
It's the way we live as if we'll never die
Livin' like it's nothin' but an alibi
Too late to cheer, too soon to cry
No time to wonder, do we wonder why?

Too much bein' and no "let it be"
Not that it's easy, but it's hard to see
How one so fast can think so slow
I don't mean to be mean, but I told you so
Man, I told you so
Yes, I told you so
