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
I can`t stand what you do
Sometimes I can`t stand you
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`s pain inside
You can see it in my eyes
There is pain inside
You can see it in my eyes
It 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`ve even got scared once or twice
Last time I walked down your street
There were tears in my eyes
Well now these streets we all know
They help us cry when we`re alone late at night
Don`t you love them too?
Is that where you got your eyes?
Oh I can`t stand what you do
Sometimes I can`t stand you
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
Your world---it is beautiful
I`ll take the subway to your suburb sometimes
I`ll seek out the things that must`ve been magic to you little girl mind
Now as a little girl you must`ve been magic
I still get jealous of your old boyfriends in the suburbs sometimes
And when I walk down your street
There`ll probably be tears in my eyes
(I knew it would happen)
I can`t stand what you do
Sometimes I can`t stand you
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
