You Ought to Know By Now

Country Song: You Ought to Know By Now

If I’d wanted you to know I’d have told you.
Some things are better left unsaid.
Now you’re going round
Runnin’ this into the ground.
Can’t you keep your questions in your head?

Chorus:
You ought to know by now
I’m the silent type,
And silent is the way it’s gonna be.
Don’t be pushing me to say
What you want, or I won’t stay,
And that’ll be the last you see of me.

If I’d wanted you to know I’d have told you.
Some things a man don’t want to share.
Now you think you’re due
An explanation too.
Well baby, I just don’t really care.

Chorus:
You ought to know by now
I’m the silent type,
And silent is the way it’s gonna be.
Don’t be pushing me to say
What you want, or I won’t stay,
And that’ll be the last you see of me.

If I'd wanted you to know I'd have told you.
Baby, I don't want to break your heart.
Now you've gone and pried
And so you think I've lied.
Goodbye, gal, we're gonna have to part.

Chorus:
You ought to know by now
I’m the silent type,
And silent is the way it’s gonna be.
Don’t be pushing me to say
What you want, or I won’t stay,
And that’ll be the last you see of me.
