Oh Sailor Lyrics - Fiona Apple

I'm undecided about you again 

Mightn't it 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
