Had You Told It Like It Was (It Wouldn't Be Like It Is)
When I spoke to you, said how do you do It didn't mean I wanted to marry you You told all your friends this was the real thing Now they're askin' to see the wedding ring
CHORUS: Had you told it like it was Had you told it like it was Had you told it like it was It wouldn't be like it is.
My telephone rang today about noon Was your mama askin' 'bout a wedding in June When we stopped talkin', she was mad as could be 'Cause I told her to forget it, she'd never boss me
[repeat CHORUS] You sure took me for granted And that isn't right at all I hope you understand now Get out of this apartment hall
It's much too late to start talkin' too fast You know your dream world is in the past It's all over now, it's plain to see I ain't got you, you ain't got me
