Lyrics

[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?
[Verse 2]
How will I know if you really love me?
I'll say a prayer with every heartbeat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you, what you know about these things?
[Verse 3]
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?
[Verse 4]
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking
What I feel is really love
[Verse 5]
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
[Verse 6]
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?
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
If you love me
If you love me not
If you love me
If you love me not
