They told me what you'd do
if i ever stayed with you.
they told me that you'd laugh
while i cried.
They told me what you'd say
that you'd turn and walk away
and find another place to play,
while i cried.
Now i think back on those times
i didn't read between the lines.
how all the things that you said
never seemed to match the things you did.
Thoughts keep turning round in my mind
now i see reason and rhyme.
time spent with you has brought me something
and i've lost nothing if you are that kind.
They told me what you'd do
if i ever stayed with you
and sure enough,
it all came true.
