Apple, Fiona - A Mistake Lyrics

DIOOOOO! ADORO QUESTA CANZONE.

this song just brings out the best and worst sides about myself at the same time

Yes, I like her voice and I like her looks but omg it's her lyrics that astound me.

Fionas lyrics are so good and fearless, she is able to express things how they are, no fear of social norms. Thanks for existing!

Album: When The Pawn... "(note: see product commentsfor full title)" HAHAHA

Fav song, makes me feel badass lmao

Me whenever I accept a hookup from a random guy I met on grindr

Lyrics

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 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?

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?
Oh

I'm always doing what 
I think I should
Almost always doing 
Everybody good
Why?
Oh

This is my National Anthem

this is beatles-esque

This song is the anthem for my 40s.

Hammered and Sautéed same

Fiona Apple is stunning!

In my opinion, this is one of the best albums of our time.

E. Rock Freedom you mean all time

Sometimes she's kinda Sheryl Crow'ey.... or is that just me?

esta bien

Very seductive

I love you Fiona

I love this song and her so much <3

I did not really "get" Fiona Apple until I was a bit older, like my mid-twenties. When I was a teenager and in my early adult years I couldn't get into her music. I don't know what changed, but I had bought this album and Tidal from a used CD shop for like a dollar a piece on a whim, stuck 'em in the CD player of my ratty Volvo, and fell in love with her music. As much as I love Tidal, I prefer this album to be honest.

Fiona ❤😘

When she asks why I get an eargasm

Dig miss Fiona. She is so talented and beautiful

alto presagio*

it's art it doesn't have to make sense Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds dude jumping a yellow submarine and don't come back

Am I the only one who wonders what would happen if Fiona collabed with Jack White?

Bubblegum Witch Yes! I believe that would be epic! I might have to fan mail her!

" If you want to make sense....what ya lookin at me for "?

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 f*** it up again
I'm gonna do another detour
Unpave my path
And if you wanna make sense
What you 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

Thank you.

This song is one of my favourites!

Miss take. Missed take. Magic. Spelling. All my best.

Thank you Gods for putting this woman in my life.
 I don't have to kill myself to get off this fukking shithouse
planet. Fio saved my ass and I coped her attitude. They cannot hurt her.
She is so much more than they.

damn it LOVE this song!!! GO FIONNA!!!

who's fionna, dear?

Jesus Christ, this album is 17 years old... time marches on and my brain can't keep pace.

herrgolf nope... 20 now ;D

underrated. this described my life at 18 or 19. although i now regret making them, so don't pple.

fuck the grammys and mtv and all that shit. what a let down for artistry. xoxo fiona and all who hate celebrity culture

One of my favorite records of all time.

\m/
 When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might so When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right.

bring fiona back!!!!!

every single night??? where the fuck did that one come from.?

along the way i guess...

It's the record companies' mistake to ignore superior artists like Fiona Apple and PJ Harvey as soon as they're over 30.  In this country, as soon as women have something intelligent to say to are told they are old and should crawl under a rock or disappear.  It's insane.  Men age faster than women, so it doesn't make any sense to me why any woman older than 30 is "old" and a man at 30 is "in his prime".  FA and PJH keep getting better and better.  Neither should open for anyone  . . .they should always be the headliners.  How can anyone pass up good music like this for disney barbie talent like Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus?  The Grammy's is just an award show that nominates whoever makes the record companies the most money that year.  Sorry for the rant . . but it's hard out there for a bitch.

@R : I understood where they were coming from clearly. I was simply making a smart ass remark. Sarcasm is hard to catch through text. But whatever.

Don't worry. I completly agree

Yup, but we men age much slower than most women. It's pretty much genetics ,zen Zing Grace, diet and activity that keeps ya in your prime ,nothing to do with gender. My older sister is 65 and dating a 38 year old good looking athletic guy who has shit loads of inheritance . He could date any age group easily, but gene pool stuff. I'm 62 and at a Die Antward concert a 20 year old co ed hit on me. i was so foking pleased with myself and how that even went. but Fiona is exceptionally bright ,gifted, and intense ,I'm in Love.

This song gets me through some really tough times and some tougher mistakes... <3

I have always wondered if this is her answer to the record industries anger at her for her Grammy Bullshit speech.

+Appleholic1 I love that speech

Im gonna fuck it up again..

sweet intentional  mistake tones, one after another...making us travel through a fantastic melody chased by Fiona voice performance...yeah, yeah, let´s go for the hill town bar !!

great lyrics, great song.

The Windows 8 theme tune

eres la puta ama Fiona Apple!!!

Soooooo Beatlesque!!!!

" I've acquired quiet a tast, for a well made mistake .. " god this is so freaking SEXY !

nice...

But Jesus Loves You
It was the second coming

I'll open my heart to Jesus as long as he doesn't to do it what he did to my gaping asshole

Thanks for the upload! Gotta bust out my cd's. :D

who the hell clicked the dislike button??? what is wrong with you!!!

They made a mistake.

greatness

Happy birthday my love!

I wish my music was more like this lyrically I mean its good an all but it could be better....

i love her!

I love her!!! Funny thing too first CD I ever bought was her first Album!

I'm gonna fuck it up again! Woo!!!!!

"When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows "When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and If You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and If You Fall It Won't Matter, Cuz You'll Know That You're Right" I remember this poem to this day. Got the cd in 99.

Then she's a beautiful highly expressive bitch!!!

I fuckin luv this fuckin song.

And the fact is I had fun fumbling around.

fuck adverts

@BabylonFading2012 how do u know ?? she may be the biggest bitch

@cleanpalette


Depends on who you are. I am a metal guy. I heard all this stuff when it first came out, but didn't like it. I've had girlfriends that liked Fiona, and I never did like it. Now, 10 years later or something, I do like Fiona, and other stuff.


Its difficult to let go of early musical hangups. Though, this defense doesn't apply to people that like pop music bullshit. There is no excuse for that.

Tal vez y solo tal vez tengamos nuevo álbum de Fiona en el 2012, y pensar que muchos pensamos que esto ocurriría este mes, dammit.

I wanna make a mistake

FION FIONA GOOOOD TONIGHT

@cleanpalette They either need a new heart, or they need to spend more time with her. I've had that happen before... Fiona is best enjoyed alone.

I can't believe I still remember the lyrics..I remember buying this when I was 14. I'm 25 now:) Just goes to show, good music sticks to ya.

Usually I'm not so defensive about artists, but when it comes to Fiona Apple, I can't help it. I've showed some friends Fiona before, and it just blows my mind when they don't take a liking to her. I mean, music is one thing--I understand that some people might not like this type of music--but shouldn't her beautiful voice alone reel them in? Some people just don't get it... FIONA APPLE: the musical goddess and "patron saint of reality"! <3

mint green yesss

my favorite line do i wanna do right of course but do i really wanat to feel i'm forced? TO .. answer you hell no!

I can't believe someone had the nerve to hit the dislike button -_-

Maybe it was by mistake?

@Cloversnook You're making it seem like she sings depressing/angry music. Which is definitely not true.

I've acquired quite a taste for a well-made mistake. Love this girl >:)

Me gusta mucho esta canción, definitivamente un día de estos voy a cometer un error , pero a próposito, jeje !!!!

One person made a mistake--and clicked DISLIKE :(

@cb2198 If I were to label fiona apple, I'd have to call it jazz or acid jazz.

@fantasmaformaggino76
Mine as well!!!! :)

Someone tell me, what would this music be considered in terms of genre? Cuz I want moar

The genre is Fiona Apple

this songs is the story of my life!!!

@MatthewLedZepfan she says it in " get gone " also ... " fucking go ... "

Kevin Patrick "Fucking Go" is a lyric in "Get Gone"

I love this song, everything about it. this album is amazing and this song in particular is just so well done, the well she sings you can tell when she is teasing you or getting angry somehow. it's like you can sense her facial expressions I mean, her emotions, even if you can't understand the words. she's great :)

Fiona's great. I wish she was more active. Her songs are original & her voice is damn sexy!

ax re fiona ti mas exeis kanei......!

@kmacmuzikmafia27
Agreed. I remember when the Criminal song came out and being too young to be interested in anything else she did. I was a stupid 7 year old.

@cheseeproductions u right! actually i don't smile very often too
lol
i love her so much!

@theblueeclipse

Exactly...I missed the time when she was really popular, I was too young to care.

I'm probably insane but I thought I sensed a little Radiohead in there.

She's got a great voice. I can't believe I just started to get into her music.

"Do I wanna do right.....of course....but do I really wanna feel I'm forced.....to.....answer you......hell no!" You're a great talent Fiona.......I hope your muse is in full swing we need you right now......theres alot of trite and uninspired garbage out there right now

She freaking knows how to sing!!! She has wonderful a wonderful of technique of making things flow very uniquely, with pauses or speeding up of words at noteworthy places. Such a great artist...

this is the first song i've ever heard her say the f word in

"Im no good at math."
Soo true, such a great line. XD

ive only just dicovered this gal wow this lady has got talent

if i was a female stripper, this would be the song i would strip to? LOL.

i wanna make a mistake, why can't i make a mistake?
