Oh Sailor lyrics

Artist  : Fiona Apple 
Song : Oh Sailor



 Send "Oh Sailor" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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 its 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 its 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
