You ought to know by now Hey! You ought to know by now
Someone you knew before Was fool enough to take their Chance with you, but I know
Well I could of told you so In spite of all I've learned, I still Found out that woman used me
Ooh it was a long time ago
I'm still in the shadow Of your laughter It's common place In this kind of life With all the good times That I wasted I'm sure to find That it comes to light
The tears you cry alone Are so private I know they burn don't they Yeah!
Ooh and the shadow of your love So warm at night I still found out That's not the answer
And though it was a long time ago
I'm still in the shadow (You ought to know by now) Of your laughter (You ought to know by now) It's common place (You ought to know by now) In this kind of life (You ought to know by now) All the good times (You ought to know by now) That I'm facing (You ought to know by now) I'm sure to find (You ought to know by now) I'm sure to find (You ought to know by now) Another place to hide (You ought to know by now)

All the shadow (You ought to know by now) Of your past life (You ought to know by now) Have come today (You ought to know by now) And that it's come to light (You ought to know by now) With all the good times (You ought to know by now) That I've wasted (You ought to know by now) I'm sure to find (You ought to know by now) I'm sure to find (You ought to know by now) Another place to hide (You ought to know by now)
