O' Sailor - Fiona Apple

I’m undecided about you again

Mightn’t 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

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And then lettin' it go by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And 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

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And then lettin' it go by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And 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 its wake appeared the touch and call of a different breed

One who set to get me 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

It took the agenda from its place in my bed

Made a merry paramour of me

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And then lettin' it go by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Giving me eyes to view it

As it goes by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And then lettin' it go by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Saying there’s nothing to it

And then lettin' it go by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Giving me eyes to view it

As it goes by the boards

O' sailor why’d you do it

What’d you do that for

Giving me eyes to view it

As it goes by the boards
