🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • 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?

Echo the hook

  • 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, uh-huh
knowlovesreally
