Paper Bag Full Lyrics

I was staring at the sky Just looking for a star To pray on, or wish on Or something like that I was having a sweet fix Of a daydream of a boy whose reality I knew Was a hopeless to be had, but then the... Dove of hope began its downward slope And I believed for a moment that... My chances were... Approaching to be grabbed, but as it came down near So did a weary... tear I thought it was a bird, but it was just a paper bag Hunger hurts And I want him So bad, oh, it kills 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works When it costs... too much to love And I went crazy, again today, looking for a strand to climb Looking for... A little hope! Baby said he couldn't stay, wouldn't put his lips to mine "And a fail to kiss is a fail to cope!" I said, "Honey, I don't feel so good!... Don't feel justified!" "Come on, put a little love here in my void!" He said, "It's all in your head", And I said, "So's everything!", but he didn't get it! I thought he was a man, but he was just a little boy Hunger hurts And I want him... So bad, oh, it kills! 'Cause I know I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold 'cause these hands are too shaky to hold Hunger hurts, but starving works When it costs... Too much to love! Hunger hurts, but I want him so bad! Oh, it kills! 'Cause I know I'm a mess that he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because these hands are just too... Shaky to hold! Hunger hurts, but starving works me When it costs... Too much to love! Hunger hurts! But I want him so bad, oh it kills! Because I know that I'm a mess he don't wanna clean up I got to fold because these hands are just too... Shaky to hold! Hunger hurts, but starving... It works When it costs... too much to love! Mmm!
