Fiona Apple - Paper Bag Lyrics

Send "Paper Bag" ringtones to your cell

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
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

*chorus*
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, 
but 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 becuz these hands are just 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
Cuz i know i'm a mess he don't wanna clean up
i got to fold becuz these hands are just too shaky to hold
Hunger hurts, 
but starving - it works,
When it cost too much to love.
