1
I can't stand it when you tell our infant son
2
That he was born beneath a bad sign
3
And I can't stand it when he smiles up at you
4
Just because you're his mother
5
And I can't stand the bitter thing that I've become
6
Between the four walls that hold up our ceiling
7
And I wonder when the house gets real quiet
8
Who between us will be the first one to give into the feeling
9
And I know you don't want me to hurt you tonight
10
And I, I don't want you to hurt me the way you do
11
I can't stand it when you put the boy to bed
12
And you sing him those songs I used to sing to you
13
Yeah, I can't stand to hear you sing those songs
14
When you know you don't mean them
15
And I can't stand the way my body still remembers
16
How much we used to mean to one another way back when
17
And I can't stand going back to seek the shelter of your arms
18
And then I can't stand it again
19
And I know you don't want me to hurt you tonight
20
And I, I don't want you to hurt me the way you do
the mountain goats - no children
