Don't Be Upset |
I took my darling out to the aquarium |
sea creatures stared at us and we stared back at them |
my baby freaked when she peeked at that 8-legged blob with a beak |
she was too scared to speak |
i said don’t be upset it’s only an octopus |
don’t bother it and i’m sure it won’t bother us please don’t be upset my darling, please don’t get upset |
my baby came riding to meet me one time |
on the crowed last car of the downtown-bound 9 |
she was brave but she caved |
when the train was delayed |
it was just the last straw in her hard busy day |
i said don’t get upset 'cuz it’s not a catastrophe |
nothing will happen and soon you’ll be back with me please don’t be upset my darling, please don’t be upset |
my gal’s got a headhache, her ankle is hurting too |
boots she bought gave her a rash & her winsdom tooth |
is coming in and it’s damp out and she’s having cramps and she’s so mad at me cuz i didn’t shave |
i said don’t be upset i know you’re feeling sensitive |
i’ll try to be kinder and be more attentive |
please don’t be upset my darling please don’t get upset |
darling i said, i’m gonna be 27 soon |
i’ve only got rejection letters and a sense of impending doom |
i think it’s too late for me all the comic companies hate me and i try but it’s always the same |
i guess my art is just lame and it’s strange but still somehow i’m |
always not suiting their needs at this time |
and she said… don't be upset, |
you know that you’re wonderful |
just keep on trying …(actually what she really said was) |
all you ever wanna talk about is your self and your comic books and your album |
and your tour |
and everytime i see your friends they just ask me where you are again and it hurts |
it makes me feel like dirt |
i’m just gonna write where you are on my shirt |
and i said don’t be upset, don’t be in a bad mood |
let’s just go to a show and hang out and feel good |
come on please don’t be upset my darling, please don’t be upset, |
i’ll do anything baby, just don’t be upset. |
