The Original Modern Lovers version - Lyrics
I know these very nice girls from where I come from
but they get tough to talk to
I can't understand the way they do
I can't understand they act
I can't understand anything
their life might have been hard
their lives might have been bad
they sure are hard to talk to
maybe it's their mom and dad's fault
she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
well they cracked, I'm hurt, and you're right
take this girl, she cracked, I won't
but She did things that I don't
She'd goes around this town
with her hand around these ????
I don't wanna hurt her
I only want to help her
I can't talk to her now
I've been feeling her for awhile
she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
she cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
oh,???
and she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
she so cracked, I get hurt, you're right
???
she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd hang around
with ????
I can't ??? I can't talk to her but I try
she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
she cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
she cracked, I'm sad, but I won't (when they crack, I'm sad)
she cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

The Modern Lovers version - Lyrics
Well she was sensitive
She understood me
She understood the European things of 1943
But she does all these things that I can't stand
I could care if she stays with another man
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well she cracked, I won't
She did these things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't, that's right
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
oh Well, she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd eat garbage, eat shit, get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Alright
and She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
One more time, one more time
and She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

(thanks, we'd like to add a little Massachusetts cold bitterness to your life, this is our bitter song of the first set, it's a song about self discipline too, and we're flattered if you dance and wer're not insulted and we say, well She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't, and She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right)
Well she was sensitive
and She understood me (a little lower)
She understood the European scene of 1943
well she does all these things that I just can't stand
so I could care less if she stays with another man
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well she cracked, I won't
She did these things that I don't
She'd self destroy, necessary to self enjoy
I self develop, necessary to self help
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Well she (way down) cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't
She'd eat shit, eat ???, and get stoned
I stay alone, eat health food at home
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
Alright
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right
One more time
She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't
She cracked, I'm hurt, you're right

Comments: Yes, you don't have to change chords during the whole verse. The exact key this song should be played in I cannot tell you at the moment. My turntable is old and has long since ceased to even attempt to play my records at the correct speed. The last time i "played" (sort of) along to the record, I used the key C#. As my turntable is a bit slow, this should indicate that the correct key might be D. Or any other key.
Well she was sensitive

Well she cracked, I won't
She did things that I don't

She cracked, I'm sad, but I won't that's right
