Fiona Apple - ladies

여러 여성들과의 관계에서 겪는 혼란과 상실을 담은 노래에서, 한 남자는 과거의 연인들과 만들어진 공간과 유물들을 회상한다
각기 다른 여성들에 대한 애정과 연결되지 못한 아쉬움을 연결 지으며, 한 여성이 남긴 드레스를 통해 복잡한 감정을 언급한다
전반적으로, 누구에겐가 보내고 싶은 마음과 연결하고자 하는 갈망이 나타난다

Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies
Ruminations on the looming effect and the parallax view
And the figure and the form and the revolving door that keeps
Turning out more and more good women like you
Yet another woman to whom I won't get through
Ruminations on the looming effect and the parallax view
And the figure and the form and the revolving door that keeps
Turning out more and more good women like you
Yet another woman to whom I won't get through
Ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies, take it easy
When he leaves me, please be my guest
To whatever I might've left in his kitchen cupboards
In the back of his bathroom cabinets
And oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
There's a dress in the closet
Don't get rid of it, you'd look good in it
I didn't fit in it, it was never mine
It belonged to the ex-wife of another ex of mine
She left it behind with a note, one line, it said
"I don't know if I'm coming across, but I'm really trying"
She was very kind
