The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's a boy I know
He's the one I dream of
Looks into my eyes
Takes 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?
Oh, 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?
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 what 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?
Oh, wake me, I'm shaking
Wish I had you near me now
Said there's no mistaking
What I feel is really love
Oh, tell me
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?
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 what 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?
If he loves me
If he loves me not
If he loves me
Oh, if he loves me not
Hey, if he loves me
If he loves me not
Oh, how will I know?
Oh, how will I know?
How will I know?
Hey, how will I know?
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 what 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?
How will I know? (How will I know?)
How will I know?
How will I know? (I say a prayer)
How will I know? Oh
How will I know? (I fall in love)
How will I know?
How will I know?
I'm asking you
