Lyrics The Modern Lovers

The Modern Lovers

Hospital

When you get out of the hospital

Let me back into your life

I can't stand what you do

I'm in love with your eyes

And when you get out of the dating bar

I'll be here to get back into your life

I can't stand what you do

I'm in love with your eyes

Oh, I can't stand what you do

Sometimes I can't stand you

And it makes me think about me

That I'm involved with you

But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

I go to bakeries all day long

There's a lack of sweetness in my life

And there is pain inside

You can see it in my eyes

Oh there is pain inside

You can see it in my eyes

Makes me think about me

That I've lost my pride

But I'm in love with this power that resides in your eyes

You live in modern apartments

Well I even got scared once or twice

Last time I walked down your street

There were tears in my eyes

Well these streets

We all know

They help us cry when we're alone late at night

Don't you love them too?

That where you got your eyes?

Oh I can't stand what you do

Sometimes I can't stand you

And it makes me think about me

How I'm involved with you

But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

Now... your world

It is beautiful

I'll take the subway to your suburb sometime

I'll seek out the places that must have been magic

to your little girl mind

Now as a little girl

You must have been magic

I still get jealous of your old boyfriends

in the suburbs sometimes

And when I walk down your street

Probably be tears in my eyes

(I knew it would happen)

I can't stand what you do

Sometimes I can't stand you

And it makes me think about me

That I'm involved with you

But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes

So... when you get out of the hospital

Let me back into your life

I can't stand what you do

But I'm in love with your eyes
