Lyrics:

(Anything goes, but then
Everything goes
Everyone's gone
Where's everyone went?
Electric driers
Some holey socks
All my friends
All my friends
All my friends)

One day I see you
I have heard of you
And so I tell you
I want to meet you

What shall I do?
What shall I do?
What shall I do?
What shall I do?

One day I date you
And then I hug you
Next day I like you
I want to take you

What shall I do?
What shall I do?
What shall I do?
What shall I do?
Say!

(I don't believe what you
Believe I believe in)

One day I love you
And then I kiss you
Next day I need you
But have I lost you?

What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? Say!

One day I pump you
Next day I hate you
Next day I kill you
Then I forget you

What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? What shall I do? Say!
