Cissy Houston Lyrics
"Somebody Should Have Told Me"

Somebody should have told me
That I would feel the way I do
Somebody should have told me
I should have stayed away from you
Somebody should have told me
About the pain and the sleepless nights
Somebody should have warned me
And explain you'd never remain the same

Chorus:
Never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are
How could you treat me so bad
I'm so sad over you
Better start to realize
Better open up your eyes
See that we're losing the love that we once used to share

Somebody should have told me
That my dreams just would fade away
Somebody should have warned me
Not to hope that you'd really say

Repeat Chorus

Somebody should have told me

Never would have gone this far
Knowing you for what you are

Better start to realize
Better open up your eyes

Repeat Chorus

Somebody should have told me
Not to trust anything you say
Somebody should have warned me
That you would pick up and leave someday

Repeat Chorus
