Hospital
The Modern Lovers Lyrics

When you get out of the hospital
As soon as you're out of the medical facility

Let me back into your life
Allow me to come back into your world

I can't stand what you do
I hate some of the things you do

I'm in love with your eyes
I'm smitten with the power I see in your stare

And when you get out of the dating bar
After your outing in your search for a potential partner

I'll be here to get back into your life
I'll be waiting to be part of your life again

Oh, I can't stand what you do
I really despise some of the actions you take

Sometimes I can't stand you
At times, I can't handle the thought of you

And it makes me think about me
I contemplate what the relationship says about me

That I'm involved with you
That I have a romantic attachment to you

But I'm in love with this power that shows through in your eyes
But I'm still enamored with the strength that radiates from your gaze

I go to bakeries all day long
I occupy myself with visiting pastry shops regularly

There's a lack of sweetness in my life
My existence has no excitement

And there is pain inside
I'm hurting internally

You can see it in my eyes
My agony is evident in my stare

Oh, there is pain inside
Oh, I'm in emotional turmoil

It makes me think about me
It causes me to ponder about my life

That I've lost my pride
I don't have self-respect anymore

You live in modern apartments
Your dwelling place is a modern housing unit

Well, I've even got scared once or twice
Well, it even gave me fright once or twice

Last time I walked down your street
The last time I strolled along your passage

There were tears in my eyes
I couldn't help but cry

Well, now, these streets we all know
These roads are familiar to all of us

They help us cry when we're alone late at night
They aid us in weeping when we're by ourselves at night

Don't you love them too?
Do you also have an affinity for these streets?

That where you got your eyes?
Is that where you obtained your powerful gaze?

Now, your world, it is beautiful
Your environment is stunning

I'll take the subway to your suburb sometimes
I'll use the subway to visit your community occasionally

I'll seek out the things that must've been magic to your little girl mind
I'll look for the things that were likely enchanting to you as a young girl

Now, as a little girl, you must've been magic
During your childhood, you're likely to have had a magical aura

I still get jealous of your old boyfriends in the suburbs sometimes
I still get envious of your previous partners occasionally

And when I walk down your street
And when I stroll through your pathway

Probably be tears in my eyes
I'll undoubtedly break down crying

I knew it would happen
I was aware it would come to this

So when you get out of the hospital
Thus, as soon as you leave the health institute

Let me back into your life
Welcome me back into your world

I can't stand what you do
I'm offended by some of your actions

But I'm in love with your eyes
But I'm still smitten with the strength that emanates from your stare
