The Modern Lovers

The Modern Lovers were an American rock band led by Jonathan Richman in the 1970s and 1980s. The original band existed from 1970 to 1974 but their recordings were not released until 1976 or later. It featured Richman and bassist Ernie Brooks with drummer David Robinson (later of The Cars) and keyboardist Jerry Harrison (later of Talking Heads). The sound of the band owed a great deal to the influence of The Velvet Underground, and is now sometimes classed as "protopunk".

Hi dear, I'm just here from outside
I've been out all alone in the cold night
And in the shopping centre at midnight
I've been out all by myself in the moonlight
So I am cold, but I can dance
I say, dance with me

Well, hi, I just come back from Europe
I learned a lot, I used to dance in all the cities
Well, you're all alone in the dorm
I'm excited and you're safe and warm
So you're warm, I'm cold
But I say, dance with me

And when you dance with me
Look at me and smile
When you look at me
I hope you'll smile

Because your face is pure sex when you smile dear
It's written in huge suburban letters
And the letters say "tenderness" to me it all says "sex"
And dance with me

Oh, because now dear, don't you love the city?
Don't you love the idea of city romance?
You're my modern, suburban pretty
I say, dance with me

Oh, hi dear, I'm in from outside just like the barnyard
I've been shopping around outside in the midnight moonlight
Your life seems to me dull in the dorm here
I'm excited and you're just safe and warm
You're warm, I'm cold
I say, dance with me, alright
