Paper Bag versuri

Versuri Fiona Apple – Paper Bag lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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 but I want him so bad, oh, it kills
‘Cause I know I’m a mess that he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold, because these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving works me
When it costs too much to love

Oh, hunger hurts but I want him so bad, oh, it kills
Because I know that I’m a mess that he don’t wanna clean up
I got to fold, because these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, but starving, it works
When it costs too much to love, hmm, hmm
