Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
You can tell in your heart what its gonna be
When you feel the fire like when you're holding me
I took a chance when you sung and danced
Let me feel like plans could be made for us both to be
Lovers and friends til the end, what its got us in
Never wouldve thought it was you that would choose me
Now I'm on a flight, aint afraid of heights
I can breathe right, exhale, cause you did something to me
When you made me feel loved, really made me give up
When I didn't see much, when I felt your touch
What a man say once in the first 12 months
I aint heard in my life from the closest one
There's so much I knew, too good to be true
When it came so fast, what's a girl to do?
Never will I say when a man won't change
Cause you changed my life and I'm so damn happy baby
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
Every time enough is enough, you love me full time
So I know that it's me, that it's me that you're living for
A little hug and a kiss to show me you miss me
An all you really want to do is be here with me
Lovers and friends til the end, what its got us in
Never wouldve thought it was you that would choose me
Now I'm on a flight, aint afraid of heights
I can breathe right, exhale, cause you did something to me
You made me feel loved, really made me give up
When I didn't see much, when I felt your touch
What a man say once in the first 12 months
I aint heard in my life from the closest one
There's so much I knew, too good to be true
When it came so fast, what's a girl to do?
Never will I say when a man won't change
Cause you changed my life and I'm so damn happy baby
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
You know when you really know
You know in your heart that you fell in love
Let this feeling make you lose control
And just let go because you know when you know, you know
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
You know when you know
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know
When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?

When you know, when you kn-kn-know kn-kn-know, right?
Know, when you know, you know, you kn-know, right?
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
You know what you want when you feel that you want it
