The biggest hit single for Sydney band Sherbet. In 1976, it reached number one in both Australia and New Zealand and South Africa. It also reached the top five in the United Kingdom and the top ten in the Netherlands and Norway.
The song came about when someone suggested to Tony Mitchell and keyboa...
You told me I was the one
The only one who got your head undone
And for a while I believed the line that you spun
But I've been lookin' at you
Lookin' closely at the things you do
I didn't see you the way you wanted me to
How, How, Howzat?
You messed about I caught you out
Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at
It's good-bye
Well Howzat?
It's good-bye
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've found where you're at
It's good-bye
Well Howzat?
It's good-bye
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Well I've been lookin' at you (I tell you what I see)
Lookin' closely at the things you do (No you can't fool me)
I didn't see you the way you wanted me to
How, How, Howzat?
You messed about I caught you out
Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at
It's good-bye
Howzat?
You messed about I caught you out
Howzat?
Now that I've found where you're at
It's good-bye
Well Howzat?
Good-bye
