You Should Know By Now 

by Angela Bofill

You ought to know by now.  Love is the look in my eye.  Loving the way you smile when you say, "I wish you would stay."  you bring out all the youth in me.  I laugh and cry out all the truth in me out of love.  you should know by now.

haven't you felt by now just what it's like to be loved.  knowing that certain touch when you're sure, time would give you more.  you bring out all the best in me.  I want to hold you 'til you feel the need somehow.  you should know by now.

if i could just find the words I wouldn't be left so lonely.  If you were my one and only then I'd show you now.

every move as smooth as silk.  say you will, say you will.

hasn't it closed your mind.  haven't you known all the time. 
promise to tell me now.  has it shown how much love is grown the way I tremble at the side of you.  I want to learn to love you through and through.

This I beg.  you should know by now.  don't you think you should know by now.
