[Intro]
Look at that boy dressed so fine
Anyone could see girl, what's on your mind
Go on up and ask him his name
Time for you to get into the game
You can't win if you don't play
If you want him, don't walk away
[Verse 1]
That boy is poetry in motion
Emotion that's ocean deep
That boy is giving me the notion
That my devotion will be well received
[Pre-Chorus]
Kept in his heart under lock and key
I pray that's the way it will always be
[Chorus]
How will I know if it's real?
I only know I know how I feel
And what I feel is so real
I can't deny it no more
I can't fight it no more
[Verse 2]
That boy (that boy)
Is making me realize
That these butterflies are here to stay
And that boy (that boy)
He's got me mesmerized (mesmerized)
Terrified he might walk away
[Pre-Chorus]
What does it mean (what does it mean)
When you start to lose yourself? (start to lose yourself)
Find that you don't wanna be with nobody else
Yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
How will I know if it's real? (how will I know if it's real?)
I only know I know how I feel (how I feel)
And what I feel is so real (is so real)
I can't deny it no more (no more)
I can't fight it no more (I can't fight it no more)
I can't fight it no more
[Bridge]
(That, that boy) No more
How will I know?
(That, that boy)
(That, that, that boy)
[Chorus]
And what I feel is so real
I can't deny it no more (no more)
I can't fight it no more
That boy (that boy)
[Outro]
Is givin' me the notion
That boy (that boy, that, that boy)
Is poetry in motion (that boy, that boy)
Oh yeah (he really is, he really is)
Oh yeah, oh yeah (that boy, that boy)
(How will I know?)
