Fiona Apple – Paper Bag Lyrics  Share

From Fiona Apple's album: When The Pawn

I was staring at the sky
Just looking for a star
To pray on, or wish on
Or something like that

I was having a sweet fix
Of a daydream of a boy
Whose reality I knew
Was a hopeless to be had

But then the dove of hope began its downward slope
And I believed for a moment that my chances were
Approaching to be grabbed
But as it came down near, so did a weary tear
I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
^,Cause I know I^,m a mess he don^,t wanna clean up
I got to fold ^,cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

And I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb
Looking for a little hope
Baby said he couldn^,t stay, wouldn^,t put his lips to mine,
[ Paper Bag lyrics from
http://www.musiclyricsnow.net/f/fiona-apple/paper-bag/ ]
And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope

I said, "Honey, I don^,t feel so good, don^,t feel justified
Come on put a little love here in my void"
He said, "It^,s all in your head"
And I said, "So^,s everything^," but he didn^,t get it
I thought he was a man but he was just a little boy

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
^,Cause I know I^,m a mess he don^,t wanna clean up
I got to fold ?cause these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
^,Cause I know I^,m a mess he don^,t wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love

Hunger hurts, and I want him so bad, oh it kills
Because I know I^,m a mess he don^,t wanna clean up
I got to fold because these hands are too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love
