I Told Ya So
NOTE: This song is beat driven. I tried to re-create it with punctuation, but... we'll see.

Oh! Burned!
But did you really think it mattered?
Oh! Well I see,
But stop wallowing in your misery!
C'mon, man! Get back on your feet!
You had your chance, you blew it!
Kind of ironic at this point, don't-cha think?

Dude, she don't care!
Just be glad you're even here, a-cause,

Girls are unforgiving that way!
What to do?
Punch him out, or go to her?
Oh, but how about this?
Neither!

I said,
Hey, see the way the bridesmaid looks at you?'
You said,
I won't betray her this way!'
But here's the question: Betray whom?

I've never seen you so angry before!
Is it because she's not alone anymore?
She's not on her own,
So just change your tone!
The past is long gone, so,
Just give it all up!

Whoa! Easy now!
Are you, perhaps, jealous?
Envy the way she looks at him!
What does she see?' you hiss,
All of the tomorrows!' I reply,
Waking up with him by her side!
But I love her!' you cry!

Oh? Really? A-cause
If you did, don't-cha think you'd be a bit happier, that
She found someone? She's not yours anymore!
You're jealous of her, not him!
Jealous that she's not flyin' solo,
Like you!
C'mon, smile! Ain't she happy now?

Oh!
Don't be like this!
Smile for the camera! She's still a friend!
You want more? Well,
Greed always was a sin,
Just admit it: It was never meant to be!
Don't-cha recall? You ended it, she took the fall!

I said, See the way the bridesmaid looks at you?'
You said, I won't betray her this way!'
Here's my comment: Betray whom?

I've never seen you so angry before!
Is it because she's not alone anymore?
She's not on her own,
So just change your tone!
The past is long gone, so,
Just give it all up!

The priest softly says, almost ominously,
Is there anyone who thinks these two should not be wed?
Speak now, or forever hold your peace!'

Oh, no!
Please don't!
This has gone too far! I was hoping for words, but,
If I must, I'll go straight to blows!
Just please stay seated, let it pass!
This is your last chance to make a fool out've-
Oh, please, no!

I said, See the way the bridesmaid looks at you?'
You said, I won't betray her this way!'
Here's something: Betray whom?

I've never seen you so angry before!
Is it because she's not alone anymore?
She's not on her own,
So just change your tone!
The past is long gone, so,
Just give it all up!

Now there, don't cry,
For T'was long ago you said goodbye,
I warned you, I gave you every chance!
But you still threw them all away!
She gave you what you needed! A wake-up call!
What is my flaw?' you wonder aloud,
What made her choose him over me?"

Oh! Get a grip!
I didn't want to say this, man, but, you quit!
You ran from your fears,
But what's so wrong with being in love?
It makes me sick!
If I had half your chances, I wouldn't ruin it!
Not like you did it!

I said, See the way the bridesmaid looks at you?'
You said, I won't betray her this way!'
But really, think: Betray whom?

I've never seen you so angry before!
Is it because she's not alone anymore?
She's not on her own,
So just change your tone!
The past is long gone, so,
Just give it all up!

I never wanted to say I told ya so, but,
I told ya so! Woo!
