Just to see that smile
Makes my life worthwhile
To know know know him
Is to love love love him

Everyone says there'll come a day
When I'll walk alongside of him

The song "To Know Him Is to Love Him" by Amy Winehouse is a cover of the classic doo-wop song by Phil Spector's group The Teddy Bears. The song is a declaration of love, where the singer expresses that to know the one they love is to truly love them. The lyrics convey the intensity of the singer's feelings towards their love interest, with lines like "Just to see that smile makes my life worthwhile" and "Why can't he see? How blind here he be? Someday he'll see that he was meant just for me". The lyrics also suggest a promise of devotion as the singer vows to be good to him and bring joy to his life.
The song's arrangement is stripped down, relying heavily on Winehouse's soulful vocals and acoustic guitar to create a raw and intimate atmosphere. The song captures Winehouse's ability to evoke nostalgia with her music, bringing back the classic doo-wop sound from the 50s and 60s.
