Lyrics and Music by Allen Ling
Arrangement by Melissa Reese and Brain Mantia
I thought we said our last goodbye
Now we're back for another try
One more round we both still cry
And you still keep on asking me why
Why-y-y-y?
If we want to let it go
We both could leave and we both would know
Neither one of us would be alone
But then we'll never be whole
No-o-o-o
We lose each other once again
Go crazy yet we can't be friends
CHORUS
And I hear my heart
Pounding hard
Telling me
"I told you you so
Telling me I told you so"
And I feel my heart
Calling out
"Told you so"
Heart
crying out
(Ahhh...ahhhh)
We eat at fancy restaurants
We laugh a lot with mutual friends
But when the meal ends
We never hold hands
Na-nah nah nah
You bring me extra food to eat
Sometimes I even rub your feet
But we both know where that's gonna lead
And we start over again
Ah-ah-ah ah
I really want to set you free
Why can't you let me be
CHORUS
And I hear my heart
Pounding hard
Telling me
"I told you you so
Telling me I told you so"
And I feel my heart
Calling out
"Told you so"
Heart
crying out
(Ahhh...ahhhh)
BACK STORY:
I wrote this song in 2013 for my good friend and combat instructor Matt Lucas who had some struggles and trials with a female companion of his. First guy inspired song and I enjoyed writing it. Actually, I had permutations of this song since the late 80’s and never quite could come up with the inspiration to do the verses. So thanks Matt!
