| Criminal I've been a bad, bad girl I've been careless with a delicate man And it's a sad, sad world When a girl will break a boy Just because she can Don't you tell me to deny it I've done wrong and I want to Suffer for my sins I've come to you cause I need Guidance to be true And I just don't know where I can begin What I need is a good defense Cause I'm feelin like a criminal And I need to redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Heaven help me for the way I am Save me from these evil deeds Before I get them done I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand But I keep livin this day like The next will never come Oh help me but don't tell me To deny it I've got to cleanse myself Of all these lies till I'm good Enough for him I've got a lot to lose and I'm Bettin high So I'm beggin you before it ends Just tell me where to begin What I need is a good defense Cause I'm feelin like a criminal And I need to redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Let me know the way Before there's hell to pay Give me room to lay the law and let me go I've got to make a play To make my lover stay So what would an angel say The devil wants to know What I need is a good defense Cause I'm feelin like a criminal And I need to redeemed To the one I've sinned against Because he's all I ever knew of love Never is a Promise You'll never see the courage I know Its colors' richness won't appear within your view I'll never glow - the way that you glow Your presence dominates the judgments made on you But as the scenery grows I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights I understand what I am still too proud to mention - to you You'll say you understand But you don't understand You'll say you'd never give up seeing eye to eye But never is a promise And you can't afford to lie You'll never touch these things that I hold The skin of my emotions lies beneath my own You'll never feel the heat of this soul My fever burns me deeper than I've ever shown - to you You'll say don't fear your dreams It's easier than it seems You'll say you'd never let me fall from hopes so high But never is a promise And you can't afford to lie You'll never live this life that I live I'll never live the life that wakes me in the night You'll never hear the message I give You'll say it looks as though I might give up this fight But as the scenery grows I see in different lights The shades and shadows undulate in my perception My feelings swell and stretch I see from greater heights I realize what I am now too smart to mention - to you You'll say you understand You'll never understand I'll say I'll never wake up knowing how or why I don't know what to believe in You don't know who I am You'll say I need appeasing when I start to cry But never is a promise And I'll never need a lie Sleep to Dream I tell you how I feel But you don't care I say tell me the truth But you don't dare You say love is a hell you cannot bear And I say gimme mine back and then go there - for all I care I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds You're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice Cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around I got my own hell to raise I have never been so insulted in all my life I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride First you run like a fool just to be at my side And now you run like a fool But you just run to hide And I can't abide I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds You're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice Cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around I got my own hell to raise Don't make it a big deal Don't be so sensitive We're not playing a game anymore You don't have to be so defensive Don't you plead me your case Don't bother to explain Don't even show me your face cause it's a crying shame Just go back to the rock from under which you came Take the sorrow you gave and all the stakes you claimed And don't forget the blame I got my feet on the ground And I don't go to sleep to dream You got your head in the clouds You're not at all what you seem This mind, this body, and this voice Cannot be stifled by your deviant ways So don't forget what I told you Don't come around I got my own hell to raise Sullen Girl Days like this I don't know what to do with myself All day And all night I wander the halls along the walls and under my breath I say to myself I need fuel To take flight And there's too much going on But it's calm under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion Is that why they call me a sullen girl Sullen girl They don't know I used to sail the deep and tranquil sea But he washed my shore and he took my pearl And left an empty shell of me And there's too much going on But it's clam under the waves In the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion Under the waves in the blue of my oblivion It's calm under the waves in the blue of my oblivion Fast As You Can I let the beast in too soon I don't know how to live Without my hand on his throat I fight him always and still Oh darling, it's so sweet You think you know how crazy How crazy I am You say you don't spook easy You won't go But I know And I pray that you will Fast as you can Baby run Free yourself of me Fast as you can I may be soft in your palm But I'll soon grow Hungry for a fight And I will not let you win My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will Disprove your faith in man So if you catch me trying to find my way into your Heart from under your skin Fast as you can Baby scratch me out Free yourself Fast as you can Fast as you can Baby scratch me out Free yourself Fast as you can Sometimes my mind don't shake and shift But most of the time It does And I get to the place where I'm begging for a lift Or I'll drown in the wonders and the was And I'll be your girl If you say it's a gift And you give me some more of your drugs Yeah I'll be your pet If you just tell me it's a gift Cause I'm tired of whys Choking on whys Just need a little because Because I let the beast in and then I even tried forgiving him But it's too soon So I'll fight again, again, again, again, again And for a little while more I'll soar the Uneven wind Complain and blame The sterile land But if you're getting any bright ideas Quiet dear I'm blooming within Fast as you can Baby wait watch me I'll be out Fast as I can Maybe late but at least about Fast as you can Leave me Let this thing Run its route Fast as you can Fast as you can Fast as you can Fast as you can Get Gone How many times do I have to say To get away Get gone Flip your shit past another lasses Humble dwelling You got your game Made your shot And you got away With a lot but I�m not turned on So put away that meat you�re selling Cause I do know what�s good for me And I�ve done what I could for you But you�re not benefiting And yet I�m sitting Singing again Sing, sing again How can I deal with this If he won�t get with this Am I gonna heal from this He won�t admit to it Nothing to figure out I gotta get him out It�s time the truth was out that he don�t give a Shit about me How many times can it escalate Til it elevates to a place I can�t breathe And I must decide If you must deride That I�m much obliged to up and go I�ll idealize then realize that it�s no Sacrifice Because the price is paid and There�s nothing left to grieve Fuckin go Cause I've done what I could for you And I do know what�s good for me And I�m not benefiting Instead I�m sitting singing again Singing again, singing again Sing, sing, sing again How can I deal with this If he won�t get with this Am I gonna heal from this He won�t admit to it Nothing to figure out I gotta get him out It�s time the truth was out that he don�t give a Shit about me I Know So be it I�m your crowbar If that�s what I am so far Until you get out of this mess And I will pretend That I don�t know of your sins Until you are ready to confess But all the time, all the time I�ll know, I�ll know And you can use my skin To bury secrets in And I will settle you down And at my own suggestion I will ask no questions While I do my thing in the background But all the time, all the time I�ll know, I�ll know Baby I can�t help you out While she�s still around So for the time being I�m being patient And amidst this bitterness If you�ll just consider this Even if it don�t make sense All the time Give it time And when the crowd becomes your burden And you�ve early closed your curtains I�ll wait by the backstage door While you try to find the lines to speak your mind And pry it open, hoping for an encore And if it gets too late For me to wait For you to find you love me And tell me so It�s ok, don�t need to say it Paper Bag 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 Cause I know I�m a mess he don�t wanna clean up I got to fold cause 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 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 Cause I know I�m a mess he don�t wanna clean up I got to fold cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts But starving works When it costs too much to love If you have more Fiona Apple lyrics you would like to add, please
