talking  to Mary
you  know you don't have to shout
she  can hear what you're thinking
like  you were saying it right out loud
I'm  sure she
sees  behind that dirty look
it  was her that followed
down  every stupid turn that you took

one day  she'll go
I told  you so
one day  she'll go
I told  you so
saw  the one big
problem  you keep under your hat
 and it's  pretty unlikely  that
anybody  else'll be cool with that
 you got  bus fare in your pocket
more  money down in your sock
but  she can't tell you how to contact
her  if you won't listen to her talk
one day  she'll go
I told  you so
one day  she'll go
I told  you so
it's  no problem
 I'll just keep quiet
 if it's easier for you
to  make believing
 that I don't love  you
 as much as I do
one day  she'll go
I told  you so
one day  she'll go
I told  you so
I told  you so
I told  you so
