George Duke
How Do I Know
[Verse 1]
How do I know I love you, girl?
Is it the way you wear your hair? Mmm
Is it your smile that tells me I adore you?
Or the scent of your perfume?
How do I know I love you, baby?
My stomach does flips when you're near, yeah
Call me a fool, call me sentimental
But call me please, call me, dear

[Bridge]
I'll take you on a magic carpet ride
Flip around Venus and through Mars and down the other side
If you're not with me, baby, it don't mean much to me

[Verse 2]
How do I know, how do I know I love you?
I guess it's something in the air, baby
Hey, hеy, hey, yeah
Yes, yеs, yes
Walking in New Orleans, down Bourbon Street, hand in hand
Something in the air, baby

[Bridge]
I'll take you on a magic carpet ride
Flip around Venus and through Mars and down the other side
Oh, but if you're not with me, baby
The trip just don't mean much to me, no, no, no
And I know now how it must be
[Outro]
And oh how do I know I love you? Hey, yeah
Don't you know, girl, you mean the world to me, oh
Oh, it's such ecstasy
How do I know, hey, hey, hey, hey, I love you? Yeah
Oh baby, could it be when you do what you do
You touch my body, it thrills me through and through, yeah
I guess it's something in the air, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You know, it's a trip to sing a song full of love, the expectation of love, and then you turn around and you sing a song that's where love is gone and has left and it's not here anymore. But isn't that the way of the world? I mean, joy, pain, bitter, sweet. You can't truly experience the exhilaration, high of one unless you've known the depth of the other
