Better Version of Me Songtext
von Fiona Apple

The nickel dropped when I was on
My way beyond the rubicon
What did I do?

And the games that I could handle
None are ones worth the candle
What can I do?

I′m a frightened, fickle person
Fighting, cryin', kickin′, cursin'
What should I do?

Oooh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What will I do?

Can't take a good day without a bad one
Don′t feel just to smile until I had one
Where did I learn?


I make a fuss about a little thing
The rhyme is losing to the riddling
Where′s the turn?

I don't want a home, I′d ruin that
Home is where my habits have a habitat
Why give it a turn?

Oooh, after all the folderol
And hauling over coals stops
What did I learn?

I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry and complain again
So I will keep a deliberate pace
Let the damn breeze dry my face

Oh mister wait until you see
What I plan to be

I've got a plan to demand and it just began
And if you′re right, you'll agree

Here′s coming a better version of me
Here's coming a better version of me
Here it comes a better version of me
