How Do You Do
Cascada (Natalie Horler) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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, 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

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?

How do you do, How do you do
I see you in that chair with the 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
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?

Overall Meaning

The song "How Do You Do" by Cascada (Natalie Horler) is about the feeling of being in love at first sight with someone and feeling a sense of attraction for that person. The lyrics indicate the singer's admiration for the person's physical appearance and the way they carry themselves. The singer spins within, so to speak, because the person has such an impact on her that she feels like she's melting like snow. However, she mustn't lose her cool, and instead she says hello. There is a clear indication of physical attraction and passion: the singer falls in love with the way the man undresses, and his caress affects her deeply, making her heart a mess. There is also an exploration of the voice, as the singer falls in love with the man's blue-eyed voice, "like tiny Tim shines through."


The chorus of the song "How Do You Do" is an essential part of the song, as it represents the singer's amazement with the person she has just met. The chorus asks the question, "How do you do, do you do, the things that you do?" and that nobody the singer knows manages to keep up with the person she's falling in love with. It's almost as if this person is not of this world because of the way that they are, and this is emphasized by the lyrics that read, "when I get old, I will wait outside your house cause your hands have got the power meant to heal." The lyrics may suggest a longing for this person, as if they are the one for the singer, and she will wait for him until he notices her.
