"I Told You So" lyrics - NEW ORDER

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

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)
