"That's How You Know" is a song from Enchanted. It is primarily performed by Amy Adams and Marlon Saunders.

Like the film, the song was written as an homage to and a self-parody of past Disney works, and more specifically that of Alan Menken, such as "Under the Sea" from The Little Mermaid and "Be Our Guest" from Beauty and the Beast.

Lyrics

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

Reggae Man: How does she know that you love her?

Giselle: How do you show her you love her?

Both:
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?

Giselle:
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 grey? 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...

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

Giselle:
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 need her?)

How do you know he's yours?

(How does she know that you really, really, truly-)

Well, does he take you out dancin' just so he can hold you close?
Dedicate a song with words meant just for you? Oooh

All:
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!

Giselle:
He's your love
He's your love...
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
He loves you (yeah!)
(la la la la la la la la)
That's how you know
(la la la la la la la la)
It's true
(la la la la la)

Because he'll wear your favorite color
Just so he can match your eyes
Rent a private picnic
By the fires glow-oohh!

All:
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)

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)

That's how you know!

Giselle: He's your love...

Reggae Man:
That's how she knows that you love her
That's how you show her you love her

Giselle:
That's how you know...
That's how you know...
He's your love...
