You oughta know by now
That a man could hold on
forever
So why'd you keep me
waitin' here
When you know it makes me
want you more
You oughta know by now
How it feels to be loved
So why'd you keep me
hangin' here
With this stone around
my heart
Draggin' 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
And even in this man's world
With you it don't come easy
You oughta know by now
That no man can sleep at night
With a burnin' 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 somethin'
Just a little bit of somethin'
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
You know you oughta know
by now
You oughta know
You oughta know
Let me in your heart
