Paper Bag Lyrics

Official lyrics for Paper Bag, performed by 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 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 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 -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
