How are you
Deirdre and Conor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too busy thinking 'bout your face
Even though I just saw you yesterday
Yeah, it's a hazard to my health
I don't do nothin' for myself
You made me turn up late for work again
Ooh, yeah
To all of my, all of my, all of my friends at the room, yeah
They won't go back
Oh, I hate how much I love you
And I hate how much I care
I spend all of my money and all my time
'Cause I hate our love, I do
I hate how much I love you, ooh
Yeah, I hate how much I love you, ooh
I hate how much I love you
I emptied out my bank account
Just so that I could take you out
To somewhere that you never been before
And I told my friends a thousand lies
So I could be with you tonight
They don't believe a word I say no more
Ooh, yeah
I'm talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout, talkin' 'bout you, yeah
I told myself I wouldn't fall but I broke my own rule, yeah
I can't come back
Oh, I hate how much I love you
And I hate how much I care
I spend all of my money and all my time
'Cause I hate our love, I do
I hate how much I love you, ooh
Yeah, I hate how much I love you, ooh
I hate how much I love you, yeah
When you're not around me, I swear, I got nothing to do, yeah
It's makin' me wonder what I did before I had you, yeah
I can't go back
Oh, I hate how much I love you (I love you)
And I hate how much I care (I hate how much I care)
I spend all of my money and all my time (and all my time)
'Cause I hate our love, I do
I hate how much I love you, ooh
Yeah, I hate how much I love you, ooh
I hate how much I love you, ooh
I hate how much I love you, ooh
I hate how much I love you
The song "How Are You?" by Deirdre and Conor delves into the complicated feelings that arise when deeply in love with someone.

The chorus reveals the paradoxical emotions that come with loving someone so much, while at the same time feeling the weight of the effort and sacrifices they make for that love. The second verse shows the extent to which the singer is willing to go to impress their love interest, including emptying their bank account and lying to their friends just to be with them.
Overall, the song captures the struggle of trying to balance intense feelings of love with the practicalities of navigating a relationship, including the anxiety, sacrifice and hardships that come with it.
