I Wonder How She Knows

Lyrics

Upon a veil of midnight blue

The moon and the stars

Lit our bedroom too

I was lost for words

When the time arose

I wonder how she knows

Close by side

Ooh I must hide

Mood that I'm in

Can't tell her where I've been

I guess I'm slow to think

Ooh when I drink

I wonder how she knows

I wonder how she knows

I'm the naughty boy and it shows

I could have the nerve, lord, to tell her

It's not the right time I suppose

What can I say or even do

To mend a broken heart that's broken in two

When she close her eyes

Is she taken by surprise

I wonder how she knows

I wonder how she knows

I've been a naughty boy and it shows

If I could get the nerve to tell her, oh yes

I have my highs and my lows

What can I say or even do

To mend a broken heart that's broken in two

When she close her eyes

Is she taken by surprise

Mmm, I wonder if she knows

Mmm yes, I wonder if she knows

I wonder if my baby knows

I've been a naughty boy

Does she know

Mmm yes, I wonder how she knows

Oh yes, I wonder how my baby knows
