"I Told You So" x 2
So today I was over at Mad Brook, which is the best donut shop EVER, and they had CMT on the TV in front of me, so I happened to see Carrie Underwood performing her cover of "I Told You So" by Randy Travis. I about cried in my coffee and not entirely because it reminded me so much of one of my favorite pairings at the moment (or half of it, anyway) but that was definitely a big factor. So like the giant sap that I am, I downloaded it, along with the original Randy Travis version, the Carrie Underwood AND Randy Travis duet version, and a Keith Urban song by the same name that is actually a completely different song! When I listened to the Keith Urban "I Told You So," I was delighted to find that it's almost like an answer to the RT/CU version and fills in the other half of that pairing I was talking about. Basically, the Carrie Underwood song breaks your heart and then the Keith Urban song fixes it. It's pretty awesome.
"I Told You So" by Randy Travis, covered amazingly by Carrie Underwood
Suppose I called you up tonight
And told you that I love you
And suppose I said I want to come back home
And suppose I cried and said I think I finally learned my lesson
And I'm tired of spending all my time alone
If I told you that I realized you're all I ever wanted
And it's killing me to be so far away
Would you tell me that you love me too
And would we cry together
Or would you simply laugh at me and say...
I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
If I got down on my knees
And told you I was yours forever
Would you get down on yours too and take my hand
Would we get that old-time feeling
Would we laugh and talk for hours
The way we did when our love first began
Would you tell me that you've missed me too
And that you've been so lonely
And you've waited for the day that I returned
And we'd live and love forever
And that I'm your one and only
Or would you say the table's finally turned
Would you say I told you so, oh I told you so
I told you some day you'd come crawling back
And asking me to take you in
I told you so, but you had to go
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
Now I've found somebody new
And you will never break my heart in two again
"I Told You So" by Keith Urban
You said you needed your space
I wasn't where you wanted to be
I didn't stand in your way
I only want you to be happy
And so how surprised am I to see you here tonight
Well can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together
Please just come back home
No don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
Sometimes in our life
We get to where we wonder if
The long road that we're on
Is headin' in the same direction
When it comes to you and me
We're right where I know we should be
Oh can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together
Please just come back home
No don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
Somtimes it's like we're deep in nothing but love
The slightest thing can grow so foolishly
Remind me please
Oh can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together
Please just come back home
No don't say that you're sorry
You don't gotta say you're sorry baby
Oh can't you see
That for worse or for better we're better together
Please just come back home
No don't say that you're sorry
And I won't say I told you so
And I won't say I told you so
Guessing what pairing this reminds me of wins you exactly no prizes, but you're welcome to guess anyway. I'd totally write songfic of them with these if there weren't already a ton of fics out there about them that deal with this idea.
