John Cale - Somebody Should Have Told Her lyrics

It was easy to identify her body
When she found her way back home
Hate to admit she was a good friend of mine
Someone I'll always remember
How she called up the chief of police
I had to go downtown to
The district attorney's office

Somebody might have told her
That I almost lost my mind
Somebody might have told her i was blind

Finally the evidence is collected
Found her address book
Discovered the dates that she made
In the book
I could have worked so hard to tell her
She would never have listened at all
And I turned up at the hospital cold room
In the fall

Somebody might have told her
That she's always wasting her time
Somebody might have warned her
Somebody should have told her i was blind

Somebody should have told her
Told her she was wasting her time
Somebody should have warned her
Warned her she was wasting my time

Somebody should have told her
Told her I was wasting my time
Somebody should have warned her
Warned her she was wasting her time
