Lyric discussion by casts 

Cover art for Hospital lyrics by Jonathan Richman And The Modern Lovers

to me, this song sounds kind of creepy and infatuated. lines like "when you get out of the dating bar, i'll be here to get back into your life" suggest that this girl is looking for someone else.
all the stuff about tears in his eyes and lack of sweetness in his life are just fine, angsty additions.
what i really don't understand is the part about her being in the hospital. i wish there were more discussion on this strange song.
