I see you comb your hair and gimme that grin It's making me spin now, spinnin' within Before I melt like snow I say "hello, how do you do!" I love the way you undress now, baby begin Do your caress, honey, my heart's in a mess I love your blue-eyed voice, like Tiny Tim shines through How do you do! (How do you do) Well here we are cracking jokes in 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 'Cause your face is like the cover of a 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 bye, bye bye I see you in that chair with perfect skin Well how have you been baby, livin' in sin? Hey I gotta know, did you say hello How do you do (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 'Cause your hands have got the power meant to heal 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 bye, bye bye Well here we are cracking jokes (how do you do) Well here we are spending time 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 cry bye, bye bye 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 bye, bye bye Yeah, how do you do, do you do, the things you do No one I know could ever keep up with you How do you do, did it ever make sense to you
