"DON'T HAVE TO BE SO SAD"
YO LA TENGO
You and me were at some 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
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
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 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
You won't have to be so sad
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
