Well, I Told You Lyrics by The Chantels

The Best of the Chantels

1961

[Verse 1]
Well, I told you
To hit the road, Jack
I'm sorry now
So won't you come on back?

Oh ho ho ho ho
Why you wanna break my heart now?
You know that we should never, never part now

Well, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on now

[Verse 2]
Well, I told you
That you had to go
When I found out
You ain't had no dough

Whoa, money ain't everything now
My love means more than anything
Oh ho ho ho oh

Well, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on now

[Bridge]
Now that I'm back on my feet
You say want me back now
(Yes, come on daddy now cos I need a Cadillac)
Well now, you told me to pack my bags baby
And that I had to go now
(Well, that was yesterday)
Well, I ain't coming back no more, no, no, no

[Verse 3]
Wеll, I told you
To hit the road, Jack
I'm sorry now, so
Won't you come on back

Well now, you told mе to pack my bags
I had to go out
Ooh ooh, I don’t know now now now now now now now

Well, come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on now

[Verse 3]
Well, I told you
To hit the road, Jack
I'm sorry now, so
Won't you come on back

Well now, you told me to pack my bags and go
Woman, I don't know now now now now
No no no no
No no no no

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on back
Come on, come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on back
