Don’t Have to Be So Sad Songtext
von 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

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
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

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

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
