You ought to know by now

Hey!

You ought to know by now

Someone you knew before

Was fool enough to take their

Chance with you, but I know

Well I could of told you so

In spite of all I′ve learned, I still

Found out that woman used me

Ooh it was a long time ago

I'm still in the shadow

Of your laughter

It′s common place

In this kind of life

With all the good times

That I wasted

I'm sure to find

That it comes to light

The tears you cry alone

Are so private

I know they burn don't they

Yeah!

Ooh and the shadow of your love

So warm at night I still found out

That′s not the answer

And though it was a long time ago

I′m still in the shadow

(You ought to know by now)

Of your laughter

(You ought to know by now)

It's common place

(You ought to know by now)

In this kind of life

(You ought to know by now)

All the good times

(You ought to know by now)

That I′m facing

(You ought to know by now)

I'm sure to find

(You ought to know by now)

I′m sure to find

(You ought to know by now)

Another place to hide

(You ought to know by now)

No!

(You ought to know by now)

Hey! Takes me so long girl

(You ought to know by now)

(You ought to know)

(You ought to know by now)

All the shadow

(You ought to know by now)

Of your past life

(You ought to know by now)

Have come today

(You ought to know by now)

And that it's come to light

(You ought to know by now)

With all the good times

(You ought to know by now)

That I′ve wasted

(You ought to know by now)

I'm sure to find

(You ought to know by now)

I'm sure to find

(You ought to know by now)

Another place to hide

(You ought to know by now)

Oh!

All the shadows

(You ought to know by now)

Of your laughter

(You ought to know)

Come to today

(You ought to know)

That it′s come to light

(You ought to know by now)

All the shadows

You ought to know by now.
