Don’t you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe 

If you don’t really care 

You wanted me sadder

You wanted me sadder 

Fishtail, what's the matter ah-ah

 

Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou 

Slip softly into rain

Not that smart, but I’ve got things to say 

Palm trees in black and white 

I like to watch them sway 

You're so funny, I wish I could skinny dip inside your mind

 

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how things used to be 

Swinging in a nightgown underneath the old oak tree 

Almost Victorian with you, you can talk to me 

But, lately, I can see

 

You wanted me sadder

Baby, can’t you see it?

For me, you are the one and if I’m not the one for you 

Don’t you see it?

I was on the stairs, Ella Fitzgerald on the air, feeling hella rare

Baby, if you care, baby don't you dare say you’ll braid my hair, babe

Don’t you dare say that you'll braid my hair, babe 

If you don't really care 

You wanted me sadder

 

Dancing there in the hot, hot sun

I know that we’ve got problems

I plan to address them another day

Palm trees in black and white

I see in technicolor 

Maybe I’ll take my glasses off so I stop painting red flags green 

 

Lately, I’ve been sunning in the L.A. riverbed 

Wearing nothing but the sunburn bruises on my knees

I like how you talk, how you speak, how you look at me 

But, lately, I can see

 

You wanted me sadder

Baby, can't you see it?

You wanted me sadder 

You wanted me sadder

For me, you are the one and if I’m not the one for you

Don’t you see it? 

I was on the stairs, Ella Fitzgerald on the air, feeling hella lit

Baby, if you care, baby

Don't you dare say

You’ll braid my hair, see

Baby, if you care then 

Baby, don't you dare say that you really care

 

Don’t you dare say that you'll braid my hair 

When you get home tonight if you don’t really care 

Yeah, don’t you dare say that you’ll braid my hair, babe 

If you don't really care, say that you'll braid my hair

 

If you’re not coming home to me, mm

You want someone sadder

Skipping rope in the bayou, bayou 

Slip softly into rain 

I’m not that smart, but I’ve got things to say

been wondering if this is about the same person she referred to in MAC — "you took my sadness out of context". she mentionned mariners' being (partly or fully, can't rmb) about this dude who thought they were both messed up, that they had this thing in common. but she actually thought she had her life together by that point in her life, so she didn't recieve that comment very well. anyway, fishtail makes me think of this lil story. love this and love her!

I'm sorry but there's no song quite like this one in her entire discography - maybe in all of music really (sonically speaking then yeah there are songs) but the overall vibes, the IMAGERY from the lyrics, the beat drop ugh! It is perfection and I hope she experiments more like this on her next record. Fishtail deserves some love and it really is a stunning song that adds a little anger and sadness to the album's final moments. :wub:

Following the theory that this song could also be about her fans, these 2 lines can be about her promo schedule and all the things she's canceled or postponed :awkney2:

please no remixes of this song just keep it perfect how it already is :defeated:

 

but actually though, this song leaves me speechless all the time. she paints such vivid imagery. it’s almost like she did skinny dip in my mind, is that the whole point?
