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
