How did you know
'Cause I never told
You found out
I got a crush on you
No more charades
My heart's been displayed
You found out
I 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

How did you know
'Cause I never told
You found out
I got a crush on you
No more charades
My heart's been displayed
You found out
I got a crush on you

Maybe I was the one who left the trace
Was there a message written on my face?
Were my emotions so easily read
That you would know my thoughts before a word was said
Was it my eyes
That let you know you had control
Because the way you move was so self-assured
You knew I would surrender

How did you know
'Cause I never told
You found out
I got a crush on you
No more charades
My heart's been displayed
You found out
I got a crush on you

How did you know
'Cause I never told
You found out
I got a crush on you
No more charades
My heart's been displayed
You found out
I got a crush on you
