Paper Bag

Fiona Apple

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 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

Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold cuz 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

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

Cuz I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up

I got to fold cuz these hands are too shaky to hold

**HUNGER HURTS, BUT STARVING WORKS

WHEN IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO LOVE
