[Verse 1]
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 ought a know by now
How it fells to be loved
So why d'you keep me hanging here
With this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down
[Chorus]
When all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you
Let me in, let me in
[Verse 2]
You ought a 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 ought a 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
[Chorus]
Cause all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you
Let me in, let me in
[Verse 3]
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 ought a 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
[Chorus]
When all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you
Let me in, let me in
[Outro]
Let me in, let me in
Let me in your heart
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 ought a know by now
How it fells to be loved
So why d'you keep me hanging here
With this stone around my heart, dragging me down, down, down
[Chorus]
When all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you
Let me in, let me in
[Verse 2]
You ought a 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 ought a 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
[Chorus]
Cause all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you
Let me in, let me in
[Verse 3]
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 ought a 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
[Chorus]
When all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you
Let me in, let me in
[Outro]
Let me in, let me in
Let me in your heart
