You oughta know by nowthat a man can't hold on forever,so why do you keep waiting herewhen you know it makes me want you more?You oughta know by nowhow it fells to be loved,so why d'you keep me hanging here,with this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, downwhen all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.You oughta know by nowor maybe someone should show youthat a man needs to be lovedand even in this man's worldwith you it don't come easyYou oughta know by nowthat no man can sleep at nightwith a burning in his heartthat would tear this man aparttake 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.You oughta know by nowjust 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 nowall the things a man has to do in his life,and all these things I doyou 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,Let me in your heart.
