Fiona Apple - A Mistake
from the album "When The Pawn"

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 fuck it up again
I'm gonna do another detour
Unpave my path

And if you wanna make sense
Watcha 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 acuired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake
I wanna make a mistake why can't I make a mistake

I'm always
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 forcesd
To answer you, hell no
I've aquired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake,
I wanna make a mistake, why can't I make a mistake

I'm always
I'm always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why
