You Should Know By Now

(album: Something About You - 1981)

You ought to know by now
Love is the look in my eye
Loving 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
Knowing 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
Every 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 is 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...

By now
You should know by now
Don't you think you should know by now?
Ooh...
