Apple, Fiona - Paper Bag Lyrics

starting the new decade with this song...yup yup

New to me. Quite like it.

Her children are very talented

You my muse

Good song 👍

I'm so sad that I haven't discovered you earlier in my life. But I'm so so happy to have done it before I die.  Your songs, your style, your fantastic voice, all of you make me feel better. Thanks for doing what you do.

love this song..she looks so classy in the video...love it..."I am a mess he don't want to clean up"...omg so relate

I thought it was a bird, but it was a paper bag... What a dissapointment

I'm 56 , how on earth did i miss such an angel ? I think seeing her now is better.

waiting my non disclosure agreement

Waiting my NDA

Always one of my favorites of hers, had never seen the video until just now, wow!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️UFionna

Being hearbroken and mad being able to play and sing this song is such a relief (or it can make you madder). I wish I could see her live sometime, she is amazing.

I can't get one kiss? I'm a gentleman.

When the pawn is an amazing album. A wonderful piece of Fiona's kinda' dark mind.

I love her voice. Soothing and different than most singers.

This song was in a mix a boyfriend made for me in 2011, I’d never heard of Fiona before and since then I keep coming back to it again and again.

Pizzagate

So Good

I'm in a minor key #sony

"These zans are to shaky to hold"

I went crazy again today, looking for a strand to climb, a little hope.... she’s a genius songwriter

Waiting my NDA

Beautiful Jazz Hands by Fiona at 2:10 ish

I freaking love Fiona apple

2019
whatever happened to fiona apple...she is so talented

Amazing song. How bad is it that I feel so relatable to this song at this time?
..
Given the tone of Bridesmaids when this song was used, lol.

this was filmed in the Detroit Train Station, its been put of commission and dilapidated for my entire life

I'm sure the choreography is lovely, but it's hard to take my eyes off Fiona.

Kinda remind me of the Hedgehog dilemma. Beautiful song can't stop replaying it

I'm glad Fiona gave all those
young dancers a job. It's a nice
difference, compared to other
video's.

The young dancers are so friggen adorable
I wish more music videos were in this family friendly level of entertainment

Great work.ee

She is SO the shit!!

The youngsters in pinstripe gangster clothes remind me of Bugsy Malone.

Beautiful xxx

there will never be another fiona apple.

You just can't beat Fiona Apple's first 2 albums

Anyone else get Bugsy Malone vibes or is that just me?

nunca foi tao pertinente

love your songs....all of them.

Bridesmaids introduce me to her 💓

song never gets old

Fiona used to be so beautiful

tru....faire enugh

this sucks compared to criminal

I get a kick out of how many people fight over the meaning of a song. Calm down. Music is art you're supposed to interpret it with your heart so if I say this song means a certain way to me get over it 😂🤡 clowns

I love you Fiona!
you are like a beautiful singer and songwriter.
but you were aware of what Stefani did,
I will forever have a ressentment with you.
I do not want Stefani near me.

where's the HD from this?

Wow, I had only known her for that Criminal song back in the 90's (if I'm remembering the exact name of it), yet this is SOOOO different. Interesting.

This song is so underrated. Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love!

Thank you for your music <3

Thank you for your music <3

This should be considered one of the greatest music videos of all time. Simply beautiful.

new boxes open it boys- will be continue- in rotetion in golden rule from small to big

I forgot about this song and how much I loved it! Glad I came across it again after so many years

this album is fenomenal. Love it

2019❤️❤️❤️

Her voice....

I was listening to Billie Eilish thinking her way of singing sounded familiar. Racked my brain and finally figured out that she reminded me of Fiona.

Lmao what ew you need help I'm the bad type might seduce your dad type so original and creative

Personally I love this song better than Criminal. Paper Bag gives me that soothing feeling that I still got hope and am willing to love (again, just like Criminal who wants to redeem her sins to the one she loved). The difference is that this song has clearer and a bit of those "happier" vibes compared to the latter, although it still won't end well, ironically. But anyway I love it, love doesn't always have to be successful.

Why is this the 1st time that I’m ever seeing this video!?!?!?!?! 😐

most down to earth artist ever. seen her video yesterday talking about a dog she likes

Fiona is a wonderful dancer !!

Jao mnogo ti izvaredan ovaj spot.Pohvale za celu ekipu sto su ga omogucili i naravno za Izvodzace Poklon!!!

i really relate to this song. one time i was in key west and there were just chickens everywhere. i got excited and pointed out to everyone in the car the mother hen with her chicks near the side of the road. as we got closer we could see it was just a mcdonald’s bag.

Amazing voice and thoughtful lyrics. Absolutely love this song from the day it was released.

cant wait my silence check

What album is this from?

When the pawn

I know I know I know I know you want me
Your just a pig inside a human body
Squealer squealer squeal out you're so disgusting
You're just a pig inside

i am just in peace with my decision
i dont want to share anything with stefani and her crew
i hope and wish that oscar broke into her uterus and kill her
theres no money in this world that will make me wanna make it and make me forgive her
i am in peace with my decision
i am in peace being this ghost
i am in peace with that

this music and this video are epical
thanks fiona

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, 
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, 
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
Hmm

She's such a great songwriter. This song is ME RIGHT NOW. IT'S COSTING TO MUCH TO LOVE!

hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love

why so many dislikes

The happiest, saddest ending of all time.

One of the best female song writer ever

This song is exactly the look on Barbie’s face.

Bridesmaids brought here

This song is a fucking masterpiece

Holy shit Fiona smiled! Never seen that.

What genre is this?

Heavy metal

I Told you... Sooo.. Make it Happen!

Resonance 0:50-1:15

This Album is so underrated. Has so many good songs on it.

This is such a good fucking music video and her smile is so beautiful i honestly just //love// this video of hers

One of her best songs, way underrated. Great video, too. Been watching it for almost 20 years.

I love Fiona

loll, i’m only 14 and my mom used to listen to fiona. i’d always say i never liked my moms taste in music but secretly... i loved it. this song has been on repeat for the past 4 hours😂

I always liked Fiona's songwriting. It's always some kind of self-examination that I find myself constantly doing also. My favorite song off of her sophomore album.

My girl Fiona

😚😚

Just great!

id rather be dead then Donald trumps slave. when i first meet him im going to kill him with my bare hands. he has every reason to be scared of me. hes the first person im ever going to hurt.

this song and video are epic
i love you Fiona

Instead of cruel and evil songs
This one must have been remastered in 1080p.

I love her voice she is greatly under appreciated

Love it, deeply.
