The sheet music:
Lyrics
1. I remember when you went away
How I begged and pleaded that you stay
You just laughed at me, you wanted to be free
Everything I told you has come true
Now, if I wanted to, how I could laugh at you
CHORUS:
You’re so blue and lonesome, too
I told you so
No one else can comfort you
I told you so
I said that you would pine
And miss this love of mine
But you didn’t care, you wouldn’t play fair
and I still loved you so
Life for you is one sad song
I told you so
You admit that you were wrong
You ought to know
You flew around from tree to tree
But when you couldn’t get the love you got from me
You started longing for the days that used to be
I told you so
2. You said you had nothing to regret
You thought you could easily forget
You knew right along that you were in the wrong
I could treat you as you treated me
But I can plainly see, you’re sorry as can be
