You ought to know by now, 

Love is the look in my eyes; 

Lovin' the way you smile when I say, 

"I wish you would stay." 

You bring out all the youth in me, 

I laugh and cry out all the truth in me, 

Out o' love. 

You should know by now. 



Haven't you felt by now 

Just what it's like to be loved; 

Knowin' that certain touch when you're sure 

Time won't give you more. 

You bring out all the best in me; 

I wanna hold you till you feel the need somehow 

You should know by now 



If I could just find the words, 

I wouldn't be left so lonely; 

I'm your one, my only. 

Then I'd show you how 

Ev'ry move as smooth as silk, 

Say you will; say you will. 



Hasn't it crossed your mind 

Haven't you known all the time 

Honestly tell me now, 

Has it shown? 

How much love has grown; 

The way I tremble at the sight of you. 

I want to learn to love you through and through, 

This I'll beg. 

You should know by now, 

Hmm-mmm. 



By now. 

You should know by now, 

Don't you think you should know by now? 

Ooh
