Lyrics

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, now 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 things 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
