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 S, honey, my heart's in a mess. I love your blue-eyed voice, like tiny tim shines thru. how do you do! Well, here we are crackin' 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 cos your face is like the cover of a magazin 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? 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...
