You Told Me

written by Michael Nesmith


You told me you'd always stay, you told me
You told me you'd never stray, you told me
All these things you said, you said sincerely
Still I am leaving you in spite of what you told me

I've heard things that did not match what you told me
And of your love that would not last as you told me
Forewarned is forearmed, it hurts, I'm leaving
I may be wrong, I can't love what I'm just hearing

Times have made me shy
Of all the things you're saying
Time have made me shy
Of girls and all the games they are playing

Someday I may see the truth of what you told me
I may find I left too soon and that you told me
Only things that you were honestly feeling
I must have more to love than what you told me

Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me
Yes, I must have more to love than what you told me
