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
