When You Know

I used to ask my mother
When deciding on a lover
What’s the right, the wrong, and who makes the rules?
Will he stand out from the crowd?
Should he make me laugh out loud?
How’d you tell a wise man from a fool?
When you know
When you know
You can feel it in your bones
There’s a magic so electric
Unfamiliar territory
Feels like coming home
When you know
A pilot and a writer and an alcoholic womanizer
Must have thought I loved them all
Sometimes I had integrity
And sometimes I liked lots of money
One by one I had to let them go
When you know
When you know
You can feel it in your bones
There’s a magic so electric
Unfamiliar territory
Feels like coming home
So you don’t have to worry
You don’t have to ask it of me
I don’t need a reason anymore
When you know
When you know
You can feel it in your bones
When you know, how you know
You believe it in your soul
There’s a magic magic and it’s pure electric
It’s like unfamiliar territory
Feels like coming home
And you know
When you know
You just know
Just know
