How Will I Know Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Oh, it's you I know, you're the one I dream of
Look into my eyes, take me to the clouds above
Oh, I lose control, can't seem to get enough
When I wake from dreaming, tell me, is it really love?
[Chorus]
How will I know if you really love me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if you're thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy, can't speak
Falling in love is so bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak
[Verse 2]
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking
What I feel is really love
[Pre-Chorus]
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
[Chorus]
How will I know if you really love me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you what you know about these things
How will I know if you're thinking of me?
I try to phone but I'm too shy, can't speak
Falling in love is so bitter sweet
This love is strong why do I feel weak
[Outro]
If you love me
If you love me, no
If you love me
If you love me, no
