I Told You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Maybe from the outside (Maybe from the outside)
Things look all right, (Things look all right,)
But we know it (But we know it)
Isn't so. (Isn't so.)
'Cause, baby, on the inside, ('Cause, baby, on the inside,)
I spent all night (I spent all night)
Counting reasons (Counting reasons)
I should go. (I should go.)
How will I know (Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
When love's true, (Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
If it comes for real? (If it comes for real...)
I told you (I told you)
That you shouldn't let me (That you shouldn't let me)
Hold you, (Hold you,)
'Cause it breaks my heart again ('Cause it breaks my heart again)
Every time you
Turn away.
I don't want to go there, (I don't want to go there,)
'Cause I've had my share ('Cause I've had my share)
Of believing (Of believing)
Lovers' lies. (Lovers' lies.)
And you've already shown me (And you've already shown me)
That I can't see (That I can't see)
Just by looking (Just by looking)
Into your eyes. (Into your eyes.)
So how will I know (Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
When love's true, (Oo-oo-oo-ooh)
If it comes for real? (If it comes for real...)
I told you (I told you)
That you shouldn't let me (That you shouldn't let me)
Hold you, (Hold you,)
'Cause it breaks my heart again ('Cause it breaks my heart again)
Every time you
Turn away.
So, how will I know (How will)
When love's true, (I know)
If it comes for real? (If it comes for real?)
I told you (I told you)
That you shouldn't let me (That you shouldn't let me)
Hold you, (Hold you,)
'Cause it breaks my heart again -- ('Cause it breaks my heart again --)
Breaks my heart again. (Breaks my heart again.)
Break my heart again. (Break my heart again.)
Break my heart again. (Break my heart again.)
