lyrics

How do I know
Your hearts is aching
How do I know
You could use a little fun
How do I know
You're only faking
When you say that
You don't need anyone
It didn't come through the grapevine
It didn't come down the telephone line
No, no, no, no, no

How do I know
You're thinking of me
How do I know
That you're feeling blue
How do I know
You'd love to love me
Just the same way
I would love ot love you
I didn't hear it on the radio
I didn't see it on a TV show
No, no, no, no, no

A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
Just what I wanted to hear
And now I've got to hear it from you

I've heard those birds before
How they whistle, lord, how they coo
But now all creation's singing
She loves you
She loves you
Yes, she do

So how do I know
Right now is the right time
How do I know
It was meant to be true
How do I know
Day follows night time
How do I know
That one and one makes two
I didn't read it in the daily news
I didn't have to go out chasing down clues
No, no, no, no, no

A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
Just what I wanted to hear
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
A little bird told me
Just what I wanted to hear
And now I've got to hear it from you
I've got to hear it from you
