Yo La Tengo - Don't Have To Be So Sad lyrics

rate me

You and me we're at the goldfish pond

and I, I was tagging along for the ride

all the big mouthed fish really made us laugh

and while I stood still I felt a chill

I thought that maybe you did too

I wanted to feel that way forever

And that's why

If you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see

and if I'm, if I'm, ever that lucky

You won't have to be so, You won't have to be so sad

You won't have to be so sad.

Last night I was trying to read in bed

But I got to watching you sleep instead

Even when I got tired I couldn't stop

Because I love you so, and I pray you know

But I'm not much for praying

I knew I couldn't say that without making a joke

And that's why if you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see

and If I'm ever that lucky you won't have to be so

You won't have to be so sad.

You won't have to be so sad.

Yeah that's why

If you're looking at me I'll try to be what you want to see

and I, if I'm ever that lucky you won't have to be so

You won't have to be so sad.

You won't have to be so sad.

You won't have to be so sad.
