LYRICS

(Verse 1)
For all I know
The best is over and the worst is yet to come
Is it enough?
To keep on hoping when the rest have given up?

(Chorus 1)
And they go
"I hate to say I told you so"
But they love to
Say they told me so
"I hate to say I told you so"
But they love to
Say they told me so

Say they say they told me
Say they say they told me
Say they say they told me

(Verse 2)
I know you like
When I admit that I was wrong and you were right
At least I try
To keep my cool when I am thrown into a fire

(Chorus 2)
And they go
"I hate to say I told you so"
But they love to
Say they told me so
"I hate to say I told you so"
But they love to
Say they told me so

Say they say they told me
Say they say they told me
Say they say they told me

(Bridge) x2
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again
Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again

Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again

(Chorus 3)
"I hate to say I told you so"
But they love to
Say they told me so
"I hate to say I told you so"
But they love to
Say they told me so


Say they say they told me
(Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again)
Say they say they told me
(Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again)
Say they say they told me
(Throw me into the fire
Throw me in, pull me out again)
