How Will I Know Lyrics

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 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 heart beat 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 all bitter sweet 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 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 heart beat 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 all bitter sweet This love is strong why do I feel weak 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 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 heart beat 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 all bitter sweet This love is strong why do I feel weak

Meaning of How Will I Know

“How Will I Know” captures the agonizing uncertainty of new love and the desperate need for reassurance. The lyrics portray a young woman consumed by infatuation with a mysterious boy, lost in dreamy fantasies and battling intense emotions – joy, fear, and confusion all intertwined. She’s overwhelmed by her feelings, questioning their authenticity and wrestling with the potential for deception, repeating the haunting refrain “How will I know?” This repeated plea highlights her vulnerability and the core theme of trusting one's intuition, a sentiment ultimately undermined by the song’s very question. Whitney Houston’s powerful vocals amplify the raw emotion and sense of helplessness as she desperately seeks confirmation of love, illustrating the bittersweet nature of falling in love while simultaneously fearing its potential fragility – a universal experience powerfully expressed through her voice.
