The Modern Lovers were an American rock band led by Jonathan Richman in the 1970s and 1980s.
The original band, billed simply as "The Modern Lovers", existed from 1970–74 but their recordings were not released until 1976 or later. It featured Jonathan 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 considered one of the leading bands of the "proto-punk" scene.

Here is another tab/chord chart for a song from the Modern Lovers' 1976 album, *The Modern Lovers.* I would be extremely interested in hearing from anybody with corrections, comments, etc.
AEA Well I don't want just a girl to fool around with AEA Well I don't want just a girl to ball alright AEA What I want is a girl that I care about AEA Or I want nothing at all.
Alright (and so on . . . )
Well I won't pretend I like a girl if I really don't And act like she's great when she makes me feel appalled All I want is a girl that I care about Or I want nothing at all. Well I don't want some cocaine sniffing triumph in the bar Well I don't want a triumph in the car I don't want to make a rich girl crawl What I want is a girl that I care about Or I want no one at all Alright, listen to this now.
Picture this: I'm walking with my girlfriend 28 misguided souls combined say, "We're moving in" There's a certain kind of girl that you care about so much You say, "I don't care what you guys do to me, but her, DON'T TOUCH!"
'Cause I don't want just a girl to fool around with I don't want just a girl to ball What I want is a girl that I care about Or I want nothing at all Oh alright
Well I don't want a girl to fool around with no I don't want just a girl to ball no What I want is a girl that I care about Or I want nothing at all.
