Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You ought to know by now
[Verse 2]
Baby, when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love, we hoped
Little did we know
Darlin', all the time we spent
Ignorin' all the consequences
And hidin' from big evidence
Hopin' things would change
[Verse 3]
But the yearnin' grew like the loneliness of a castaway
To be near to you was the only thing in my heart each day
Keepin' me alive
Till your rescue came
Honey, you mean everything to me
[Verse 4]
You ought to know by now
Love means everything
Oh, you ought to know by now
Only love can bring happiness
[Verse 5]
Wishful thinkin' spent in vain
What to lose and what to gain
All the guilt and all the pain
Seemed to come away
And baby, when our hearts awoke
Think of all the rules we broke
In the name of love, we spoke
Little did we know
[Verse 6]
But the hope was there, like a ray of sun on a cloudy day
Any change from impossibility to the only way
Love can conquer all, and it's here to stay
Honey, you mean everything to me
[Verse 7]
You ought to know by now
Love means everythin'
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
[Verse 8]
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
You ought to know by now
