You ought to know better now Baby, when our hearts awoke Thinking of all the rules we broke In the name of love we hoped Little did we know Darling, all the time we spent Ignoring all the consequences And hiding from the evidence Hoping things would change But the yearning grew Like the loneliness of a castaway To be near to you was the only thing In my heart it stayed Keeping me alive Till your rescue came Honey, you mean everything to me You ought to know better now Love means everything You ought to know better now Only love can bring happiness Wishful thinking's spent in vain What to lose and what to gain All the guilt and all the blame Seem to come our way Baby, when our hearts awoke Thinking of all the rules we broke In the name of love we spoke Little did we know But the hope was there Like a ray of sun on a cloudy day And it changed from impossibility To the only way Love can conquer all And it's here to stay Honey, you mean everything to me You ought to know better now Love means everything You ought to know better now Only love can bring happiness You ought to know better now Love means everything You ought to know better now Only love can bring happiness You ought to know better now You ought to know better now You ought to know better now
