O' Sailor — Fiona Apple

I'm undecided about you again I can be right that you're not here It's double sided 'cause I ruined it all But also saved myself By never believing you dear

Everything good I deem too good to be true Everything else is just a bore Everything I have to look forward to Has a pretty painful and very imposing before

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

I have too been playing with fifty-two cards Just 'cause I play so far from my vest Whatever I've got, I've got no reason to guard What could I do but spend my best

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

And after waiting, fighting patiently on my knees All the other stuff tired itself out first, not me And in it's wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed One of the steps is getting wise and got me there and then got me

And what a thing to know what could be instead Oh what a blessed curse to see Took the agenda from it's place in my bed Made a merry paramour of me

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Given the eyes to view it As it goes by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Saying there's nothing to it Then lettin' it go by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Given the eyes to view it As it goes by the boards

Oh sailor why'd you do it What'd you do that for Given the eyes to view it As it goes by the boards
