You say, "Do you love me?"
Like you really wonder
You say, "Do you need me?"
Like I'm going under
Like if you sank down deep, I would not pull you through
And if you were lost in the woods, I would not come find you

Baby, you, you ought to know by now
That I've been loving you
Since I first learned how
To open my mouth and speak
First game of Hide and Seek
I said, "Look at this shiny thing that I have found"
Baby, you
You ought to know 'bout, you
You ought to know 'bout love by now

Ooo

You say, "Stay forever"
Like I'm going somewhere
You say, "Don't forget me"
Like I won't remember
All the midnights and the mornings wide awake
Just memorizing and tracing your sweet face

Yeah, baby, you
You ought to know by now
That I've been loving you
Since I first learned how
To open my mouth and speak
First game of Hide and Seek
I said, "Look at this shiny thing that I have found"
Baby, you
You ought to know 'bout, you
You ought to know 'bout love by now

You've got to have a little faith in me
You have got to believe

Oh, baby, you
You ought to know by now
That I've been loving you
Since I first learned how
To open my mouth and speak
First game of Hide and Seek
I said, "Look at this shiny thing that I have found"
Baby, you
You ought to know 'bout, you
You ought to know 'bout, you
You ought to know about love by now

Ooo-oo
By now
Ohh, ooo-oo
Ohh, baby
You ought to know by now
(I've been lovin' you)
For so long, so long, so long
(Since I first...)
Ohh, yeah
You ought to know by now
(You ought to know by...)
And you ought to know by now
(You ought to know by...)
You ought to know by now
