FIONA APPLE LYRICS



"A Mistake"


I'm gonna make a mistake

I'm gonna do it on purpose

I'm gonna waste my time

'Cause I'm full as a tick

And I'm scratching at the surface

And what I find is mine

And when the day is done, and I look back

And the fact is I had fun, fumbling around

All the advice I shunned, and I ran

Where they told me not to run, but I sure

Had fun, so

I'm gonna f*** it up again

I'm gonna do another detour

Unpave my path

And if you wanna make sense

Whatcha looking at me for

I'm no good at math

And when I find my way back,

The fact is I just may stay, or I may not

I've acquired quite a taste

For a wellmade mistake

I wanna mistake why can't I make a mistake?

I'm always doing what I think I should

Almost always doing everybody good

Why

Do I wanna do right, of course but

Do I really wanna feel I'm forced to

Answer you, hell no

I've acquired quite a taste

For a wellmade mistake, I wanna

Make a mistake, why can't I make a mistake

I'm always doing what I think I should

Almost always doing everybody good

Why
