Told You So Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am gonna show you
The world, and all that you desire
I said I, I don't wanna control you
I wanna set you free, just come with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I know, yeah
I know you sense a pleasure in my eye
As long as you know, baby
Every pleasure you taste has its price, babe
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna say I told you so, oh
But I told you so, no
I don't wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
[Verse 2]
I already know you
And your ways, and all that you desire
I said I, I don't wanna control you
I came to set you free, yeah come with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I know, yeah
I know you sense the doublespeak on my tongue
As long as you don't forget
Where all your pleasure came from, babe
I am gonna show you
The world, and all that you desire
I said I, I don't wanna control you
I wanna set you free, just come with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I know, yeah
I know you sense a pleasure in my eye
As long as you know, baby
Every pleasure you taste has its price, babe
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna say I told you so, oh
But I told you so, no
I don't wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
[Verse 2]
I already know you
And your ways, and all that you desire
I said I, I don't wanna control you
I came to set you free, yeah come with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, and I know, yeah
I know you sense the doublespeak on my tongue
As long as you don't forget
Where all your pleasure came from, babe
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna say I told you so, no oh
But I told you so, no
I don't wanna say I told you so
But I told you so
[Bridge]
I got plans, I got plans for you
Oh, yeah
I got plans, I got plans for you
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
I know you sense the sentiment in my eyes
As long as you know, baby
Every pleasure you taste has its price, babe
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna say I told you so, oh
But I told you so, no
I don't wanna say I told you so, oh, yeah
Around you
Oh, I don't wanna say I told you so, no

About
Genius Annotation
The song believed to be about Armageddon or even a nuclear fallout, “Told You So,” sees Miguel orchestrating a way to inform his listeners by ‘blasting off’ with a funky, vibrant and electric 80’s approach.
In this song, it suits the theme that Miguel is portraying with his album—grittier topics about the world. The video features missiles striking into the air in a radiated site, which makes people believe that is the “nuclear fallout” part of the song, as you can see them in the official music video:
