She Ought to Know
Eric Roberson feat. Marsha from Floetry Lyrics

She ought to know by now that the love I have is real
The woman should acknowledge the genuineness of my affection by now

She ought to know by now everything I say I feel
She should believe me when I verbalize my emotions by now

She ought to know by now there's no secrets to conceal
She should recognize that there are no hidden aspects to my personality by now

Pulled out my heart and rang out all the love
I gave all of myself and expressed all of the love I had for her

Gave it to her but it was not enough
However, my efforts to please her did not suffice

Went back to see if I left some behind
I tried to see if there was anything else I could give her

Hoping that one more drop will make you mine
In hopes that one tiny gesture or token could win her over to me completely

I'm out here knockin' but she won't let me in
I'm trying to pursue her romantically, but she is not allowing me to get close to her

Just keeps on stoppin' before we can begin
She is continually blocking any attempt to make progress in our relationship

But once I'm in she will see how good love can be
If she would give me a chance, then she would realize how great our love could be

But right now her past is clouding her views of me
However, her previous experiences are hindering her perception of me currently

Want to show I love her so
I want to demonstrate the depth of my affection for her

I gave her kiss she said she needed more
I kissed her, but she yearned for much more from me

I got in my car and went straight to the store
I went to buy something to offer her in hopes that it would please her

I spent all my dollars and took a part a rose
I expended all of my money and disassembled a rose to offer to her

For every step ya take I drop these on your toes
I scattered the petals with each one of her movements to show commitment

She shook her head so I wrote a letter
Since she distanced herself from me, I attempted to communicate through a letter

Hoping that my words would come across better
With the stated intention of expressing my sentiments more effectively in a letter

But still no reply, least not the one I hoped
Unfortunately, I did not receive the answer I was hoping for

She just closed out her eyes and let out these notes
Instead, she chose not to talk to me and conveyed her feelings through nonverbal signals

So I just stood there scratchin' my head, hey
As a result, I was baffled and confused

Prolly when I should have been listening instead
Perhaps I should have been more receptive to her point of view

Wanted to know her wishes not just her fears
I wanted to understand her desires and not just her apprehensions

Just want her to know, know that I'm here
All I want is for her to recognize that I am present and care for her

Oh, she ought to know by now there's no love that's not real
It should be obvious to her that my love for her is genuine

Hey, she ought to know by now everything I say is real
She should trust that everything I say to her is sincere

And I'm done 'cause she should know by now
I've said everything I need to say, and she should be aware of how I feel by now.

You ought to know I need you, you ought to know I care
I want her to realize that I need her in my life and that I am genuinely concerned about her

In your love I believe in, my heart is yours to have
I have faith in her love, and I am willing to give her my heart

Now just know I'm here, you ought to know I'm yours
She should know that I am available and committed to her

There's no need to fear, no need to be unsure
She has no reason to be anxious or hesitant about our relationship

You ought to know to trust me you ought to know I'm honest
She should trust that I am truthful and sincere

So have some understanding let the truth be your promise
I ask her to be more empathetic and to make a pledge based on honesty

I know I have a love I know I have a friend
I am certain that I have love for her and that we have a strong friendship

But do we know each other? We won't know till the end
However, we will not truly comprehend each other until the end

You ought to know by now
It should be evident to her

You ought to know by now
It should be evident to her

You ought to know by now
It should be evident to her

You ought to know by now
It should be evident to her
