  • How did you know if I never told
    You found out,
    I've got a crush on you
    No more charades,
    My hearts been displayed,
    You found out,
    I've got a crush on you

    You must have heard it
    From my best friend
    She's always talkin' when she should be listenin'
    Can't keep a secret

    To save her life
    But still I trusted her with all I felt inside
    I never knew, a rumor could spread so fast
    ('Cause now the) Word is out!
    All over town
    That I'm longing for you

    [Chorus]
    How did you know If I never told
    You found out I've got a crush on you
    No more charades,
    My hearts been displayed
    You found out I've got a crush on you

    Maybe I was the one who left the trace
    Was there a message written on my face
    One little emotion so easily read
    That you would know my love before a word was said...

    Was it my eyes that let you know you had control
    Because the way you move
    It was for sure.
    You knew I would surrender!

    [Chorus]

    Ooh...

    [Chorus: x2] Writer/s: GEORGE RICHARDSON, SONYA DOWNER
