you ought to be with me

sit right down and talk to me

about how you want to be

you ought to be with me

yeah

you ought to be with me

thinking 'bout what people do

talking 'bout how i love you

thinking there's nothing to what they say

you're going to be with me anyway

they don't want to see us do

all of the things we want to

you ought to be with me

hey

you ought to be with me

you don't have to waste my time

if you want to be a friend of mine

you can leave me now and walk away

and turn your back for another day

let me say it: ought to be the kind of girl

that can brighten this old world

and it's hard to see why you and me

can't be together happily

i'm trying to realize

you being with some other guy

i don't know the reason why

you ought to be with me until i die

i don't want to waste my time

if you want to be a friend of mine

i want to hold you tight

love you right

put good feelin' in your night
