Lyrics I Can't Stand It - The Velvet Underground

It's hard being a man
Livin' in a garbage pail
My landlady called me up
She tried to hit me with a mop

I can't stand it anymore, more
Can't stand it anymore, more
Can't stand it anymore, more
But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright
If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

I live with 13 dead cats
A purple dog that wears spats
They're living out in the hall
And I can't stand it anymore

I can't stand it anymore, more
I can't stand it anymore, more
I can't stand it anymore, more
But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright
If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

It's hard being a man
Living in a garbage pail
My lady called me up
And tried to hit me with a mop

I can't stand it anymore, more
Ooh, I can't stand it anymore, more
I can't stand it anymore, more
But if Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright
If Shelly would just come back, it'd be alright

Be alright
Be alright, baby
Be alright
Oh God!
