Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a boy I know
He's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes
Takes me to the clouds above
Mm-hmm
Ooh, I lose control
Can't seem to get enough
Uh-huh
When I wake from dreaming
Tell me, is it really love?
[PreChorus]
Ooh, how will I know? (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?
How will I know? (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?
[Chorus]
How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's 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 2]
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now
Uh-huh
Said there's no mistakin'
What I feel is really love
Ooh, tell me
[PreChorus]
How will I know? (Don't trust your feelings)
How will I know?
How will I know? (Love can be deceiving)
How will I know?
[Chorus]
How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's 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?
[Bridge]
If he loves me
If he loves me not
Mm
If he loves me
Ooh
If he loves me not
Hey
If he loves me
If he loves me not
Oh, how will I know?
How will I know?
How will I know?
Hey, how will I know?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Chorus]
How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heart beat
I fall in love whenever we meet
I'm asking you 'cause you know about these things
How will I know if he's 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?
[Outro]
How will I know? (How will I know?)
How will I know?
How will I know? (I say a prayer)
How will I know? Ooh
How will I know? (I fall in love)
How will I know?
Hey, how will I know?
