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
Ooh, 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 he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
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 all bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?
Verse 2
When he’s by my side, I feel so alive
When he’s not around, I’m feeling low
Try to walk away, but I stumble
Though I try to hide it, it’s clear
My world crumbles when you are not near
Chorus
How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
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 all bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?
Bridge
If he loves me, if he loves me not
If he loves me, if he loves me not
If he loves me, if he loves me not
If he loves me, if he loves me not
Chorus
How will I know if he really loves me?
I say a prayer with every heartbeat
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 all bittersweet
This love is strong, why do I feel weak?
