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
