Don't Do Sadness Lyrics - Spring Awakening - Spring Awakening

Moritz: 

Awful sweet to be a little butterfly 

Just winging over things and nothing deep inside 

Nothing going, going wild in you, you know 

You're slowing by the riverside, or floating high and blue 

Or may be cool to be a little summer wind 

Like once through everything and then away again 

With the taste of dust in your mouth all day 

But no need to know 

Like sadness, you just sail away 

Cuz you know 

I don't do sadness 

Not even a little bit 

Just don't need it in my life 

Don't want any part of it 

I don't do sadness 

Hey, I've done my time 

Lookin' back on it all, man, it blows my mind 

I don't do sadness 

So been there 

Don't do sadness 

Just don't care 

[Dialogue] 

Ilse: Moritz Stiefel? 

Moritz: Ilse? You frightened me 

I: What are you looking for? 

M: If only I knew 

I: Then what's the use of looking? 

I: I'm on the way home, want to come? 

M: I don't know 

I: God, you remember how we used to run back 

I: To my house and play pirates? 

I: Wendla Bergman, Melchior Gabor, you and I? 

Ilse: 

Spring and summer 

Every other day 

Blue wind gets so sad 

Blowing through the thick corn 

Through the bales of hay 

Through the open books on the grass 

Spring and summer 

Sure, when it's autumn 

Wind always wants to 

Creep up and haunt you 

Whistlin' it's got you 

With its heartache, with its sorrow 

Winter wind sings and it cries 

Spring and summer 

Every other day 

Blue wind gets so pained 

Blowing through the thick corn 

Through the bales of hay 

Through the sudden drift of the rain 

Spring and summer 

[Dialogue] 

M: Actually, I better go 

I: Walk as far as my house with me 

M: I wish I could 

I: Then why don't you? 

M: Eighty lines of Virgil, sixteen equations, a paper on the Hapsburgs 

Moritz: 

So maybe I should be some kind of laundry line 

Hang their things on me, and I will swing 'em dry 

You just wave in the sun through the afternoon and then see 

They come to set you free beneath the rising moon 

Cuz you know 

(Spring and summer) 

I don't do sadness 

(Every other day) 

Not even a little bit 

(Blue wind gets so lost) 

Just don't need it in my life 

(Blowin' through the thick corn, through the bales of hay) 

Don't want any part of it 

(Spring and summer) 

I don't do sadness 

(Every other day) 

Hey, I've done my time 

(Blue wind gets so lost) 

Lookin' back on it all and it blows my mind 

(Blowin' through the thick corn, through the bales of hay) 

I don't do sadness 

(The wandering clouds of the dust) 

So been there, don't do sadness 

(Spring and summer) 

Just don't care
