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 big 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 till your rescue came Honey you mean everything to me You ought to know by now Love means everything You ought to know by now Only love can bring happiness Wishful thinking spent in vain What to loose 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 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 its here to stay Honey you mean everything to me You ought to know by now Love means everything You ought to know by now Only love can bring happiness You ought to know by now Love means everything 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 You ought to know by now
