Well it's a waste of time
Cause you and I will never rhyme
But who can blame us if we try

And I can't stay mad reading your letters
Your hand-writing's so bad
But your love is so good
How do I know, how do I know
You really care?
How do I know, how do I know
You're really there
How do I know
When to stay and when to go

When I feel so...

Cause I'm a Scarborough girl

Wearing my high-heels and my $5 pearls

In an imitation world
And I can't have him
Cause he's down in L.A. and that's too far to swim
So you'll just have to stand in
How do I know, how do I know
You really care?
How do I know, how do I know
You're really there?

How do I know
When to stay and when to go?

When I feel so...

I guess we're all just the same

Guarding the fire from the rain

By holding our hands in the flame
How do I know, how do I know
You really care?
How do I know, how do I know
You're really there?
How do I know
When to stay and when to go?
When I feel so...

How do I know, how do I know You really care  How do I know, how do I know You're really there  How do I know When to stay and when to go When I feel so...
