How do you do
Peter Petrel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Er: Once I said I wanted you, I don't remember why
I often wonder, if it's true that you can make me cry
Beide: I only know that long ago, you said I love you, too
But I've got one solution then, we're gonna start anew

Sie: How do you do, aha - I thought why not, na na na na
Just me and you and then we can, na na na na
Just like before and you will say, na na na na
Please give me more and you will think, na na na na
Hey, that's what I'm living for

Beide: How do you do, aha - I thought why not, na na na na
Just me and you and then we can, na na na na
Just like before and you will say, na na na na
Each day we go and you will think, na na na na
Er: Hey, that's what I'm living for

Sie: Once I said I wanted you and I remember why
I often wonder, if it's true, you still can make me cry
Beide: And now it's not so long ago you said I love you, too
Cause I have one solution then and that's to start anew

Sie: How do you do, aha - I thought why not, na na na na
Just me and you and then we can, na na na na
Just like before and you will say, na na na na
Please give me more and you will think, na na na na
Hey, that's what I'm living for

Schöne Version. Ich hatte total verdrängt, dass der männliche Part der "Windows", die das Lied gecovert haben, von Peter Petrel übernommen wurde. Cool.
