"I Told You So" is a song by Duncan Lamont.

Natalie Maria Cole (February 6, 1950 – December 31, 2015) was an American singer, voice actress, songwriter, and actress. The daughter of the acclaimed and pioneering American singer and jazz pianist Nat King Cole, she rose to musical success in the mid-1970s as an R&B artist with the hits "This Will Be", "Inseparable" (1975), and "Our Love" (1977). Cole re-emerged as a pop artist with the 1987 album Everlasting and her cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Pink Cadillac". In the 1990s, she re-recorded standards by her father, resulting in her biggest success, Unforgettable... with Love, which sold over seven million copies and also won Cole seven Grammy Awards. She sold over 30 million records worldwide. On December 31, 2015, Cole died at the age of 65 at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, due to congestive heart failure.

I heard it on the grapevine
Straight from the horse's mouth
Their saying on the grapevine
That he's heading north
And you're going south

I hate to say it but I told you so
Before the curtain fell I told you so
I've known for a long time it couldn't last
Now you're just a memory 
In his long and distant past

How can you tell someone who is starry-eyed
Her Doctor Jekyll's really Mr. Hyde
I know, I've seen it all before
I loved him once but that was long ago
Well I told you so

I tried to warn you
I tried to let you know
I wish I didn't have to say it
But I told you so
But he's losing interest 
And you feel like a bore
Then one day you wake inside
To hear that closing door

How can you tell someone
Who is Mr. Fine
That vintage champagne
Is really cyanide 
I know, I've seen it all before
I loved him once
But now the scars don't show
Well I told you so
