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

When I was drunk singing this in High School, I never thought Iâd be forty drunk singing this my empty living room. Preach Fiona.

She writes so perfectly

Sheâs isnt for everyone, but if you get it, you get it. i think her line â soâs everything, but he didnt get itâ sums her brilliance and awesomeness and intelligence and tongue-in-cheekness just perfectlyâŚ..

I'm 70 YO and just recently discovered Fiona Apple. This is an amazing video to go along with such an excellent song. She is quite the lyricist. I've really been enjoying her music. Even old farts can appreciate great music. p.s. those kids are amazing

I love the symbolism of the âbaggageâ her âbaggageâ that the man is too childish to cope with and so gives her it back at the end and so she moves on

one of the greatest songs ever written.

I love the metaphor at the end. The person she thought was a man is just a little boy who leaves her with baggage

she was so real for this

To the user who commented that she believed this song was promoting anorexia, the lyrics are not literal. Her hunger is referring to an infatuation she has for a man that she has clearly idealized and put on a pedestal without fully knowing who he really was, "just a little boy". She is hurt by this realization and although she loves him and is still longing for him, she knows he will hurt her if she is with him. This is why she says "hunger hurts, but starving works, when it costs too much to love". She must starve herself from the love she desperately wants from the person because she knows she will be hurt in the end. I've felt this and it's genuinely miserable. This whole song has such hopeful and empowering sound, and this video is so playful and whimsical, it's hard to believe that the message of heartache and longing is able to be conveyed so clearly. So beautiful. :'-)

Never noticed before, but she smiles at the end because, while she's sad, she's glad to be moving on

This is one of the best music videos of all time. I can't believe there isn't an HD version available.

I always forget how drop-dread gorgeous Fiona Apple is. My god. She's so naturally beautiful that it hurts to look at her!

It's crazy to think that this song was never a hit... Amazing song!

"Hunger hurts but starving works when it costs too much to love."
I think this means that yeah sure loneliness can be painful but if being with someone requires you to give up too much of who you truly are, then it's better to wallow in the pain of loneliness rather than sacrifice too much of yourself.

One of my all-time favorite songs. This song was the first thing that I allowed myself to enjoy after my Dad died suddenly. it helped me heal. Fiona should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. No one else like her!

I can't explain with my poor english what I thought when I was 15 hearing this for the first time. She is just a genius. It was hard to accept how perfect her songs are, cuz I was a teenager singer-song writer too. I was sick. lol I want her to know how beautiful she is. She is so graceful in this video.
