Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only one who got your head undone
And for a while I believed the line that you spun
But I've been looking at you
Looking closely at the things you do
I didn't see it the way you wanted me to
You messed about
I caught you out
Howzat
Now that I found where you're at
It's goodbye
Well howzat
It's goodbye
You only came for a smile
Even though you're really not my style
I didn't think that you'd run me 'round
Like you do
How how howzat
You messed about
I caught you out
Howzat
Now that I found where you're at
It's goodbye
Well howzat
It's goodbye
Aha
O yeah, oh yeah
Well I've been looking at you
(I'll tell you what I see)
Looking closely at the things you do
(No you can't fool me)
I didn't see it the way you wanted me to
How how howzat
You messed about
I caught you out
Howzat
Now that I found where you're at
It's goodbye
Howzat
You messed about
I caught you out
Howzat
Now that I found where you're at
It's goodbye
Well howzat
Goodbye
Oh yeah, oh yeah
The lyrics to Sherbet's song "Howzat" tell a story of a person who has been lied to, let down, and is now saying goodbye to their partner. The song begins with the singer talking about how their partner convinced them that they were the only one who had ever got them undone. However, they are now looking closely at what their partner has been doing, and they are not happy with it. The singer confronts their partner, saying "howzat" you messed about and I caught you out.
The second verse talks about how the singer did not think their partner would "run me 'round like you do", indicating a feeling of betrayal. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the singer's realization that their partner has been unfaithful and deceitful, and now it's time to say goodbye.
Overall, the song expresses the feelings of hurt, disappointment, and anger that come with realizing that someone you trusted has been lying to you. The upbeat tune and catchy chorus make it a classic and memorable song.

You told me I was the one
You convinced me that I was the only person who had your attention
The only one who got your head undone
The only person who made you feel infatuated or wild with desire
And for a while I believed the line that you spun
For a period of time, I trusted the story or excuse that you told me
But I've been looking at you
However, I have now started observing your behavior
Looking closely at the things you do
Carefully examining your actions with an attentive eye
I didn't see it the way you wanted me to
I did not perceive things from the angle you hoped to present them
How how howzat
A rhetorical question uttered to make a point about the affair
You messed about

It's goodbye
I am ending things between us
Well howzat

I did not expect that you would treat me unfairly or drag me along
No you can't fool me
I am not gullible or easily deceived by you
