Lyrics Robert Palmer

Robert Palmer

Know by Now

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
