Don't Let's Start (1985 Demo)
They Might Be Giants · Then: The Earlier Years [1997]
This is the worst part
I could believe for all the world
That you were 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
Don't, Don't!
I don't want to live in this world anymore
I don't want to live in this world anymore
Don't, don't, don't let's start
This is the worst part
I could believe for all the world
That you were 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
