Jonathan Richman & 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).

It hurts me to hear, to see you got no faith in yourself.
It bothers me now to watch you, you got no faith in your own self.
You listen more to your friends than to your own heart inside.
Well, you listen to them, oh but you hide.
You don't got nothin' to be afraid of.
You're not as bad as you think.
And you're always puttin' yourself down,
But I'm just gonna tell you that I like you.
Darling, you always put yourself down, but I like you.
That's all I came to say.
Then there's no need to think that other people can do things better than you can do 'em
Cause you got the same power in you.
I got faith in you. Sometimes you don't have it in yourself,
But I got faith in you.

And our time is right now, now we can do anything we really want to.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.

And it ain't just me who thinks so, dear, I asked my friends.
Now, Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe,
Tell her not to be afraid.
Tell her it's okay.
Tell her it's all right.

And our time is now, we can do anything we really believe in.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.

Dear, I asked Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe, and they said,
Don't you love her too?
Then tell her she's okay.
Tell her she's all right.
You're okay, dear. There's nothing to feel inferior about. You can do it.

And our time is now, we can do anything you really believe in.
I know it.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.
Our time is right now, you can do anything you set your heart on.
Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives.

We're young now. Right now's when we can enjoy it.
Now's the time for us to have faith in what we can do.
No need to fear, cause now's the time to have faith in what we can do.
