Jeffrey Lewis - Don't Be Upset lyrics
[Jeffrey Lewis - Don't Be Upset lyrics]
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 crowded 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 'cause
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 headache
Her ankle is hurting too
The boots she bought gave her a
Rash and her wisdom tooth
Is coming in and it's damp
Out and she's having cramps
And she's so mad at me 'cause 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
And I've only got rejection letters and
A sense of impending doom
And I think it's too late for me
All the comic book 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
(and actually what she really said was)
All you ever wanna talk about is yourself
And your comic books and your
Album and your tour
And every time 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
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 crowded 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 'cause
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 headache
Her ankle is hurting too
The boots she bought gave her a

Is coming in and it's damp
Out and she's having cramps
And she's so mad at me 'cause 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
