How Are You? - The Kinks

It’s been a while, I haven’t seen you for at least

A year or more, or is it less?

I can’t be sure

Well, anyway, you must have heard about the

Troubles that I had, but somehow I got through

I always managed to… and by the way

How are you?

How is your life?

How is it going?

Are you still dreaming and making big plans?

How are the nights are they still lonely?

Are you still struggling the way that I am?

Oh

How, how are you?

How are you?

You always said that you would try to change

Turn a new leaf and start all over again

But I bet you’re making all the same mistakes

You’re a lot like me, that’s why I’m still your friend

Still no offence, no more hard feelings left on silly sentiment

No harm was ever felt or ever meant

You go your way, I’m bound to see you on the street again some day

And when I do I’ll always say

How are you?

How are you?

How is your life?

How is it going?

Are you still dreaming and making big plans?

How are the nights?

Are they still lonely?

Are you still struggling the way that I am?

Oh

How, how are you?

How are you?

I know you’re making all the same mistakes

You’re a lot like me that’s why I’m still your friend

I bet go, I gotta thousand little things I better do

Ah, but it was really good to talk to you

Be on my way, I’m bound to see you on the street again someday

And when I do I’ll say

How are you?

How are you?

How is your life?

How is it going?

Are you still dreaming and making big plans?

How are the nights?

Are they still lonely?

Are you still struggling the way that I am?

Oh

How, how are you?

How are you?
