Hate to Say I Told You So - The Hives

I hate to say, I told you so Though you deserve it, because you know You left me crying for someone new But all the heartache came back to you Now you're begging me to take you back I told you so, I told you so When you were king and ridding high You thought you're new love would never die While you are laughing, I'd crying alone You wouldn't hear from me a bomb Now you're begging me to take you back I told you so, I told you so I think you're so, I know you should've reap I told you so, I told you so You are alone and look before you leap I told you so, I told you so You can't win when you're a jumpin' jack I told you so, I told you so I hate to say, I told you so We lived in closely and said it slow When you were leaving I told you then You're needing ever come back again So let me tell you with a last goodbye I told you so, I told you so So let me, let me tell you with a last goodbye I told you so, I told you so

It's been ten long years since I've been home I've been waiting here with nowhere to go It's an occupation I don't like But it pays the rent and turns on the light (Alright) I told you so, it has to be Cut loose and runaway with me We'll go out every night, I'll be there by your side And we'll all get high down the old west side If it ain't the job and it ain't the place But I must stay for your pretty face It's a bad reaction I can't fix You conned me with those feline tricks And I told you so, it's a crazy world For a mixed-up guy and a no-good girl And I told you so, it's a crazy world For a mixed-up guy with a no-good girl Take her, take the world I told you so, it has to be Cut loose and run away with me (Run away) We'll go out every night, I'll be there by your side And we'll all get high down the old west side Down the old west side Down the old west side Down the old west side (Take the world, yeah)

Guess who just got back today? Those wild eyed boys that had been away Haven't changed, haven't much to say But man, I still think those cats are great They were asking if you were around How you was, where you could be found I told them you were living downtown Driving all the old men crazy The boys are back in town You know the chick that used to dance a lot Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot I mean she was steaming That night over at Johnny's place Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face Man we just fell about the place If that chick don't want to know, forget her Friday night they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's bar and grill The drink will flow and blood will spill If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long It won't be long till summer comes Now that the boys are here again The boys are back in town
