Lyrics

How Will I Know

Oh it's you I know, you're the one I dream of Look into my eyes, takes me to the clouds above Oh I lose control, can't seem to get enough When I wake from dream, tell me is it really love 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 bittersweet This love is strong why do I feel weak Oh wake me, I'm shaking, wish I had you near me now Said there's no mistaking, what I feel is really love How will I know How will I know How will I know How will I know 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 bittersweet This love is strong why do I feel weak If you love me If you love me now If you love me If you love me now
