Fiona Apple
A Mistake
From - 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
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 well made 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 well made 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
