Lyrics

Beautiful Desires

[Verse 1]

Feeling somebody

Call when you're numb

I witness somebody

How would I know?

[Chorus]

How will I know? yeah

How will I

How will I know if I don't look

Spending time

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I Iove to love you

How will I make you love me?

How will I know?

[Verse 2]

Tell me, what did you know?

Didn't you tell I make enough to

Rolling and spinning the taste you rolling a pour i'm making you too

Seeing my body on tour, while making you poke

I'm making you look

Holding your body the same

How will I know

[Chorus]

How will I know? yeah

How will I know?

Know that I don't

But I don't, when it's on

Girl I know

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I know but you come all alone?

How will I know?

How will I know?

How will I

Cool
