Phil Collins - Oughta Know By Now lyrics

You oughta know by now

That a man can't hold on forever

So why do you keep waiting 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 hanging here

With this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down

When all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, 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 burning in his heart

That would tear this man apart

Take me out of my misery

'Cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, 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

'Cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you

Yes, all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you

Let me in, let me in

Oh, let me in your heart...
