you ought to know by now

baby when our hearts awoke

think of all the rules we broke

in the name of love we hoped

little did we know

darling all the time we spent

ignoring all the consequences

and hiding from the evidence

hoping things would change

but the yearning grew

like the loneliness of a castaway

to be near to you was the only thing

in my heart each day

keeping me alive

'til you rescued me

honey you mean everything to me



you ought to know by now

love means everything

oh you ought to know by now

only love can bring happiness



wishful thinking spent in vain

what to lose and what to gain

all the guilt and all the blame

seemed to come our way

baby when our hearts awoke

oh oh think of all the rules we broke

in the name of love we spoke

little did we know

but the hope was there

like a ray of sun on a cloudy day

and it changed from impossibility

to the only way

love can conquer all

and it's here to stay

honey you mean everything to me



you ought to know by now

love means everything

oh you ought to know by now

only love can bring happiness



you ought to know by now

love means everything

oh you ought to know by now

only love can bring happiness



you ought to know by now



you ought to know by now



you ought to know by now
