Words and Music: Fiona Apple
Im gonna make a mistake-
Im gonna do it on purpose
Im gonna waste my time
Cuz Im full as a tick
And Im 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
Im gonna f*ck it up again
Im gonna do another detour
Unpave my path
And if you wanna make sense
Whatcha looking at me for
Im no good at math
And when I find my way back,
The fact is I just may stay, or I may not
Ive acquired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake
I wanna mistake why cant I make a mistake?
Im 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 Im forced to
Answer you, hell no
Ive acquired quite a taste
For a well-made mistake, I wanna
Make a mistake, why cant I make a mistake
Im always doing what I think I should
Almost always doing everybody good
Why
