How Do You Do!

Roxette · The Pop Hits

I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin,
It's makin' me spin now, spinnin' within,
I love your blue-eyed voice like Tiny Tim shines thru
How do you do!
I love the way you undress now, baby begin.
Do your caress, honey, my heart's in a mess.
Before I melt like snow, I say Hello - How do you do! (How do you do!)

Well, here we are, crackin' jokes at the corner of our mouths
and I feel like I'm laughing in a dream.
If I was young I could wait outside your school cos your face
is like a cover of a magazine. (magazine...)

How do you do, do you do, the things that you do.
No one I know could ever keep up with you.
How do you do! Did it ever make sense to you
to say Goodbye? (Bye bye...)

I see you in that chair, with perfect skin.
Hey, I gotta know did I say Hello - How do you do?
Well, here we are, spending time in the louder part of town
and it feels like everything's surreal. When I get old I will wait outside
your house cos your hands have got the power meant to heal...

How do you do...
