[Verse 1]
Oh, how am I to know
If it's really love that found its way here?
Oh, how am I to know
Will it linger on
And leave me there?
I dare not guess
At this strange happiness
For oh
How am I to know
Can it be that love has come to stay?
[Refrain]
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
La da da, love found its way here
La da da, la da da
La da da, la da da
La da da, love has come to stay
Whee-oo-whee-oo-whee
[Verse 2]
I dare not guess
At this strange happiness
For oh
How am I to know
Can it be that love?
Can it be that love
Has come to stay?
How Am I To Know? was written by Jack King & Dorothy Parker.
Ava Gardner released How Am I To Know? on Thu Feb 01 1951.
