They Might Be Giants - Don't Let's Start lyrics

Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart and I don't get around
How you get around

When you are alone
You are the cat, you are the phone
You are an animal the words I'm singing now
Mean nothing more than "meow" to an animal
Wake up and smell the cat food
In your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail
That wags the hound

D, world destruction o-ver an overture
N, do I need apostrophe
T, need this torture?

Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart and I don't get around
How you get around

No one in the world ever gets what they want
And that is beautiful
Everybody dies frustrated and sad
And that is beautiful
They want what they're not
And I wish they would stop saying
"Deputy dog dog-a-ding dang-depadepa
Deputy dog dog-a-ding dang-depadepa"

D, world destruction o-ver an overture
N, do I need apostrophe
T, need this torture?

Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart and I don't get around
How you get around

I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world

Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you are my precious little girl
But don't, don't, don't let's start
I've got a weak heart and I don't get around
How you get around
