Who Knows
Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm in like with
Not in love with you quite yet
My heart's beginning to
Slightly overrule my head

Oh no, oh no
My self control
It won't hold up for very long
Oh no, oh no
You touch my soul
I can't help falling too fast for you

Can you hold on a bit
Stop before we go
'cause I might need a moment
And I wouldn't wanna spoil it

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something
Who knows

Maybe this is love
But I haven't fallen in quite yet

Oh no, oh no
My self control
It won't hold up for very long
Oh no, oh no
You touch my soul
I can't help falling too fast for you

Can you hold on a bit
Stop before we go
'Cause I might need a moment
And I wouldn't wanna spoil it

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something
Who knows
Who knows

Can you hold on a bit
Stop before we go
'Cause I might need a moment
And I wouldn't wanna spoil it

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something

Who knows if I am ready or not
Only time will tell
Who knows if we are ready to make this something
Who knows

Who knows
Maybe, maybe not
Who knows
Maybe, maybe not
Who knows




Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Who knows
