If You Don't Know Me By Now

(album: Don't Let Love Slip Away - 1988)

I overheard you talking to a friend of yours
And what I heard surprised me
After all this time you said you're still unsure
What's it gonna take to make you see?

Whatever I have to do
Gitl, I'm more than willing to
I'm not here just wasting time
Your love's the only thing on my mind

If you don't know me
If you don't know me by now
When will you learn that I love you?
If you don't know me
If you don't know me by now, baby
When will you learn that I love you?

We made a commitment and I know you care
Something's holding you back that you won't share
Give me an answer, give me a clue
We can work this thing out between us two

Don't hold back, relax your love (Relax your love)
I've got love you're dreaming of
If you put your trust in me
That's when you'll finally start to see

(If you don't know me) Come on
(If you don't know me by now) Baby
When will you learn that I love you?
(If you don't know me) Come on
(If you don't know me by now) By now, baby
When will you learn that I love you?

I'll walk a straight and narrow path
See, anything I got, you got half, uh huh
And if half is much too small
Then tell me and you can have it all

If you don't know me
If you don't know me by now
When will you learn that I love you?
