That's How You Know
Amy Adams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How does she know you love her?
How does she know she's yours?

How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?
How does she know that you love her?
How do you show her you love her?
How does she know that you really, really, truly love her?

It's not enough to take the one you love for granted
You must remind her or she'll be inclined to say

How do I know he loves me? (How does she know that you love her?)
(How do you show her you love her?)
How do I know he's mine? (How does she know that you really, really truly love her?)

Well, does he leave a little note to tell you
You are on his mind?
Send you yellow flowers when the sky is gray?
Hey

He'll find a new way to show you
A little bit everyday
That's how you know
That's how you know
He's your love

You got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader
Each day do something to lead her
To believe you love her

Everybody wants to live happily ever after
Everybody wants to know their true love is true

How do you know he loves you? (How does she know that you love her?)
(How do you show her you love her?)
How do you know he's yours? (How does she know that you really, really truly love her?)

Well, does he take you out dancing
Just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words
Meant just for you?
Ooh

He'll find his own way to tell you
With the little things he'll do
That's how you know
That's how you know he's your love
He's your love
He's your love

That's how you know he loves you
That's how you know it's true

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Plan a private picnic
By the fire's glow
Oh

His heart will be yours forever
Something everyday will show

That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know
That's how you know he's your love

That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her (that's how you know)
You've got to show her you need her
Don't treat her like a mind reader (that's how you know)
How do you know that you love her?




That's how you know that you love her
It's not enough to take the one you love for granted (he's your love)

Overall Meaning

Amy Adams’s song “That’s How You Know” revolves around the idea of expressing one’s love to their significant other. The lyrics are essentially a guide on how to make your beloved feel loved and appreciated. The singer begins by asking how one can let the other know that they love them, and emphasizes that it is important to show it as taking it for granted might lead to the other person feeling neglected. She then goes on to list various ways that one can express their love, such as leaving little notes, sending flowers, going out dancing, dedicating a song, or wearing their favorite color, amongst others. The ultimate message conveyed through the song is that by doing little things every day to show your love, the other person will know that they are truly loved and appreciated.


The song is not just about romantic love but emphasizes the importance of showing love in all kinds of relationships. The lyrics are also somewhat of an anthem for women to not settle for anything less than a partner who expresses their love and shows them that they are valued. The song encourages men to listen, communicate and love someone actively.

Am I the only one who obsessed with this movie (and Patrick Dempsey) ??!
Patrick Dempsey is #Mcdreamy in any movie he plays (lucky 7, sweet home Alabama, grey's Anatomy, made of honor...) I'm obsessed and in love with all his characters ... the most McDreamy there is in the world 😍

How does we know he loves her?! 😍 0:22 How does she know that you love her, how do you show that you love her, how does she know that you really really truly love her... 0:56 how do I know he loves me... How do I know he's mine?!
2:14 she sang "Well does he take you out dancing just so he can hold you close?" He said I'm not dance.... she sang "Dadicate a song with words mean just for you?" He said: "and I really not sing"....
Later in the movie where they dance in the ball https://youtu.be/kH9kbcRCZH8
Robert got dance with her (hold her close) and sang to her (Dadicate a song with words mean just for her).... With this action he just told her "I love you ❤️..."I really really truly love you❣️" "you are the one "💗
That's how we know he loves her that how we know she is the one..💕💗
Loveee this movie!!!
The most beautiful Disney movie EVER, and a lot thank to Patrick Dempsey ❣️

Robert is the first Disney Character to be openly confused about why everyone is bursting out in song and somehow knows all the lyrics, pitches & tempos properly

@sundus928
