Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Don't, don't, don't, let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're 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
[Verse 2]
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, smell the cat food in your bank account
But don't try to stop the tail that wags the hound
D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need apostrophe
T, need this torture?
[Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, let's start
This is the worst part
Could believe for all the world
That you're 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
[Verse 3]
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 singing
"Deputy-dog-dog-a-ding-dang-depadepa
Deputy-dog-dog-a-ding-dang-depadepa"
D, world destruction
Over and overture
N, do I need apostrophe
T, need this torture?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world
[Chorus]
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
