Lyrics
You oughta know by now
That a man can't hold on forever
So why do you keep me waiting here
When you know it makes me want you more?
You oughta know by now
How it fells to be loved
So why do you keep me hanging here
With this stone around my heart
Dragging me down, down, down, down?
'Cause all I'm tryin' to do
Is tryin' to get next to you, oh
Let me in, let me in
You oughta know by now
Or maybe someone should show you
That a man needs to be loved (needs to be loved)
And even in this man's world
With you, it don't come easy (no, it don't come easy)
You oughta know by now
That no man can sleep at night
With a burning in his heart
That would tear this man apart
Take me out of my misery
'Cause all I'm tryin' to do
Is tryin' to get next to you, oh
Let me in, let me in
Let me in
You oughta know by now
Just how good it feels to be wanted
And no man could love you more
So why can't you show me something
Just a little bit of something?
You oughta know by now
All the things a man has to do in his life
And all these things I do
You know that I do it all for you
I do it all for you
'Cause all I'm tryin' to do
Is tryin' to get next to you, oh
Yes, all I'm tryin' to do
Is tryin' to get next to you, oh
Let me in, let me in
Let me in
Oh, let me in your heart
Come on, girl
Let me in, let me in
Oh yeah
Let me in your heart
(Let me in, let me in)
You know you oughta know by now
You oughta know, oughta know
Let me in your heart
(Let me in, let me in)
(You oughta know by now)
Yeah, you oughta know, you oughta know
