Oughta Know by Now

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You oughta know by now That a man can't hold on forever So why do you keep waiting here When you know it makes me want you more? You ought a know by now How it feels to be loved So why d'you keep me hanging here With this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down [Chorus] Cause all I'm trying to do Is trying to get next to you Let me in, let me in [Verse 2] You ought a know by now Or maybe someone should show you That a man needs to be loved (Needs to be loved) And even in this man's world With you, it don't come easy (No it don't come easy) You ought a know by now That no man can sleep at night With a burning in his heart That would tear this man apart Take me out of my misery [Chorus] Cause all I'm trying to do Is trying to get next to you, oh Let me in, let me in Let me in [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] You oughta know by now Just how good it feels to be wanted And no man could love you more So why can't you show me something Just a little bit of something? You oughta know by now All the things a man has to do in his life And all these things I do You know that I do it all for you, I do it all for you [Chorus] Cause all I'm trying to do Is trying to get next to you Cause all I'm trying to do Is trying to get next to you Let me in, let me in Let me in! [Outro] Let me in, let me in Oh, let me in your heart Come on girl Let me in, let me in Oh yeah! Let me in your heart Let me in, let me in You know you oughta know by now Let me in your heart Let me in, let me in
