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 oughta 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



when all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.



You oughta 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 oughta 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,



'cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you, let me in, let me in.



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 oughta 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.



'Cos all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you,

yes all I'm trying to do is trying to get next to you.



Let me in, let me in,

Let me in your heart.
