O' Sailor de 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 way your pierce of touch and call of the different breed
One of the steps is getting me wired 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 the place in my bed
Made a merry paramour of me

Oh, sailor, why'd you do it?
What'd you do that for?
Give me 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
