How Ya Doin'
Hikaru Utada · Other Songs - Hikaru Utada
Is everything fine
Since you left me
Nothin' means much in my life
How ya doin'
Is everything fine
Since you left me
Nothin' means much in my life
You never take me out anymore
I'm callin' you 24-7
You're gone
Who do you think you're foolin'
I wanted to call just to say Hello
How ya doin'
Is everything fine
Since you left me
Nothin' means much in my life
Waiting might not have been too bad
Did you step to think of the love we had
If you had the patience to tell me
I would not have had to say Goodbye
How ya doin'
Is everything fine
Since you left me
Nothin' means much in my life
Baby
You could've saved us both sometime
Tell me
Tell me what's on your mind
Baby
You didn't have to leave this way
Tell me
Why did you take your love away
How ya doin'
Is everything fine
Since you left me
Nothin' means much in my life
How ya doin'
Is everything fine
Since you left me
Nothin' means much in my life
