you ought to know by now

love is the look in my eye

lovin the way you smile when i say

i wish you would stay

you bring out all the youth in me

i laugh and cry out all the truth

in me out of love

you should know by now

haven't you felt by now

just what it's like to be loved

knowing that certain touch when you're sure

time won't give you more

you bring out all the best in me

i want to hold you

till you feel the need

somehow

you should know by now

if i could just find the words

i wouldn't be left so lonely

ah if you were my only

and i'd show you how

every move as smooth as silk

say you will

stay you will

hasn't it crossed your mind

haven't you known all the time

honestly tell me now has it shown

how much love is grown

the way i tremble at the sight of you

i want to learn to love you

through and through

this i'll vow

you should know by now

hmmm by now

you should by now
