You say do you love me - like you really wonder
You say do you need me - like I'm going under
Like if you sank down deep I would not pull you through
And if you were lost in the woods I would not come find you
Chorus:
Baby, you, you ought to know by now
That I've been loving you
Since I first learned how
To open my mouth and speak
First game of hide and seek
I said look at the shiny thing that I have found
Baby, you, you ought to know 'bout, you ought to know 'bout love by now
(Oooh, oooh, oooh)
You say stay forever - like I'm going somewhere
You say don't forget me - like I won't remember
All the midnights and the mornings wide awake
Just memorizing and tracing your sweet face, yeah
Chorus
You've got to have a little faith in me
You have got to believe
Chorus
By now
Oh, oooh, oooh, oooh
Oh, baby
You ought to know by now
For so long, so long, so long
Oh, oh, yeah
You ought to know by now
