Alanis Morissette Şarkı Sözleri (Lyrics) 21 Things I Want In A Lover Do you derive joy when someone else succeeds? Do you not play dirty when engaged in competition? Do you have a big intellectual capacity But know that it alone does not equate wisdom? Do you see everything as an illusion But enjoy it even though you are not apart of it? Are you both masculine and feminine? Politically aware?and don't believe in capital punishment? These are 21 things that i want in a lover Not necessarily needs but qualities that i prefer Do you derive joy from diving in And seeing that loving someone can actually feel like freedom? Are you funny?à la self-deprecating? Like adventure?and have many formed opinions? These are 21 things that i want in a lover Not necessarily needs but qualities that i prefer I figure i can describe it since i have a choice in the matter These are 21 things i choose to choose in a lover I'm in no hurry i could wait for ever I'm in no rush cuz i like being solo There are no worries and certainly no pressures İn the meantime i'll live like there's no tomorrow Are you uninhibited in bed? more than 3 times a week? Up for being experimental? are you athletic? Are you thriving in a job that helps your brother? Are you not addicted? Are you curious and communicative? Alanis Morissette |
A Man A Man I am a man as a man I've been told Bacon is brought to the house in this mold Born of your bellies I yearn for the cord Years I have groveled repentance ignored And I have been blamed And I have repented I'm working my way toward our union mended I am man who has grown from a son Been crucified by enraged women I am son who was raised by such men I'm often reminded of the fools I'm among And I have been shamed And I have relented I'm working my way toward our union mended And I have been shamed And I have repented I'm working my way toward our union mended we don't fare well with endless reprimands we don't do well with a life served as a sentence this won't work well if you're hell bent on your offence I am a man who understands your resistance I am a man who still does what he can to dispel our archaic reputation I am a man who has heard all he can cuz I don't fare well with endless punishment Cuz I have been blamed and I have repented I'm working my way toward our union mended And we have been blamed and we have repented I'm working my way toward our union mended Alanis Morissette |
All I Really Want All I Really Want Do I stress you out My sweater is on backwards and inside out And you say how appropriate I don´t want to dissect everything today I don´t mean to pick you apart you see But I can´t help it There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off Slap me with a splintered ruler And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn´t there already If only I could hunt the hunter And I really want is some patience A way to calm the angry voice And all I really want is deliverance Do I wear you out You must wonder why I´m relentless and all strung out I´m consumed by the chill os solitary I´m like Estella I like to reel it in and then spit it out I´m frustrated by your apathy And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land If only I could meet the Maker And I am fascinated by the spiritual man I am humbled by his humble nature What I wouldn´t give to find a soulmate Someone else to catch this drift And what I wouldn´t give to meet a kindred Enough about me, let´s talk about you for a minute Enough about you, let´s talk about life for a while The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses Falling all around . . . all around Why are you so petrified of silence Here can you handle this? Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines Or when you think you´re gonna die Or did you long for the next distraction And all I need now is intellectual intercourse A soul to dig the hole much deeper And I have no concept of time other than it is flying If only I could kill the killer All I really want is some peace man A place to find a common ground And all I really want is a wavelength All I really want is some comfort A way to get my hands untied And all I really want is some justice Alanis Morissette |
Are You Still Mad Are You Still Mad Are you still mad i kicked you out of bed? Are you still mad i gave you ultimatums? Are you still mad i compared you to all My forty year old male friends? Are you still mad i shared our problems With everybody? Are you still mad i had a an emotional affair? Are you still mad i tried to mold you into Who i wanted you to be? Are you still mad I didn't trust your intentions? Of course you are Of course you are Are you still mad that i flirted wildly? Are you still mad I had a tendency to mother you? Are you still mad that i had one foot out the door? Are you still mad that we slept together even after We had ended it? Of course you are Of course you are Are you still mad i wore the pants most of the time? Are you still mad that i seemed to focus Only on your potential? Are you still mad that i threw in the towel? Are you still mad that i gave up long before you did? Of course you are Of course you are Alanis Morissette |
Baba Baba I've seen them kneel with faded breath for the ritual I've watched this experiance with psuedo higher levels I've watched them leave their family in pursuit of their nirvana I've seen them coming to line up from Switzerland and America How long will this take, Baba? How long have we been sleeping? Do you see me hanging on to every word you say? How soon will I be holy? How much will this cost, Guru? How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? I've seen them give their drugs in places of natured alters I've heard them chanting kali, kali, frantically I've heard them rodely repeat you teachers with iditism I've seen them boasting the roads, and forgein dangle woods, beat How long will this take, Baba? How long have we been sleeping? Do you see me hanging on to every word you say? How soon will I be holy? How much will this cost, Guru? How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? Ave Maria, Ave Maria... I've seen them overlooking God in their own essance I've seen their upward glances in hopes of instant salvation I've seen their ritcheouness mixed with their own loving confessions I've watched you smile at the people who bowed to kiss your feet How long will this take, Baba? How long have we been sleeping? Do you see me hanging on to every word you say? How soon will I be holy? How much will this cost, Guru? How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? Give me strength all knowing one How long 'till enlightenment? How much longer 'till you've completely absolved me? Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria, Ave Maria Alanis Morissette |
Can't Deny Can't Deny It's late at night and no one's around And only my heart is making a sound I lay awake alone in my bed And I can't sleep should I call you instead I think of you far too much 'cause you, you're one of a kind I'm not like an open book 'cause I've got something in mind You know I can't deny the way I feel inside I won't be hiding my love You know I can't disguise you're always on my mind And now I can't get enough Give me love, I know that you can I like the strength of a confident man It's in my blood and all through my veins You feel it once and you're never the same Whenever I close my eyes you're there. I feel it inside But why am I holding in my love, I can't tell you why I think of you far too much 'cause you, you're one of a kind I'm not like an open book 'cause I've got something in mind You know I, you know I, I can't deny Every day you're always on my mind You know I , you know I, I can't disguise Can't deny the way I feel inside Alanis Morissette |
Can't Not Can't Not I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation Would I be letting you win in my non reaction? How would I explain? How would I explain this to my children if I had them? Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I can't afford to be misread one more time Would it be whining if I said I needed a hug? Would you feel slighted if I said your love's not enough? And how can I complain? And how can I complain when I'm the one that reaches for This? Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I cannot walk without my crutches Because I can't not Because I can't not Because I can't help wonder why you ask me To all the unheard wisdom in the school yard You think you're the right ones You swear you're the charmed ones I'm sure But how can you go on with such conviction? Who do you think you are when you question me? Because we can't not Because we can't not Because we can't help laugh at underestimations Because we can't not Because we can't not Because we can't afford to be misled one more time Because we can't not Because we can't not Because we cannot help without your willingness Why do you affect me? why do you affect me still? Why do you hinder me? why do you hinder me still? Why do you unnerve me? why do you unnerve me still? Why do you trigger me? why do you trigger me still? Alanis Morissette |

Excuses Excuses Why no one will help me I'm too dumb I'm too smart They'll not understand me I'm lonely they'll hate me There is not enough time It's too hard to help me God wants me to work no resting no lazy These excuses how they've served me so well They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell I'm too far from home it takes far too much energy I cannot afford to, no one will ever see me These excuses how they've served me so well They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell These excuses how they're so familiar They've kept me blocked they've kept me small They've kept me safe inside my shell Bringing these into the light shakes their foundation and clears my sight Now my imagination is the only thing that limits the bar and its' rise to the heights No one can have it all see I have to, they want me to I can't let them down I will never be happy These excuses how they've served me so well They've kept me safe they've kept me stuck They've kept me locked in my own cell These excuses how they're so familiar They've kept me blocked they've kept me small They've kept me safe inside my shell Alanis Morissette |
Fear Of Bliss Fear Of Bliss My misery has enjoyed company And although I have ached I don't threaten anybody Sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you Sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to I've tried to be small I've tried to be stunted I've tried roadblocks and all My happy endings prevented Sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?) I could be golden I could be glowing I could be freedom But that could be boring Sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true I sabotage myself for fear of losing you This talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down Under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone I could be full I could be thriving I could be shining Sounds isolating Sometimes I feel this is too good to be true I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do Alanis Morissette |
Flinch Flinch What's it been over a decade? It still smarts like it was four minutes ago We only influenced each other totally We only bruised each other even more so What are you my blood? You touch me like you are my blood What are you my dad? You affect me like you are my dad How long can a girl be shackled to you How long before my dignity is reclaimed How long can a girl stay haunted by you Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Where've you been? I heard you moved to my city My brother saw you somewhere downtown I'd be paralyzed if I ran into you My tongue would seize up if we were to meet again What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin How long can a girl be tortured by you? How long before my dignity is reclaimed And how long can a girl be haunted by you Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name Soon I'll grow up and I won't even flinch at your name So here I am one room away from where I know you're standing A well-intentioned man told me you just walked in This man knows not of how this information has affected me But he knows the colour of the car I just drove away in What are you my kin? You touch me like you are my kin What are you my air? You affect me like you are my air Alanis Morissette |
Forgiven Forgiven You know how us Catholic girls can be We make up for so much time a little too late I never forgot it, confusing as it was No fun with no guilt feelings The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests I´ll see you next Sunday We all had our reasons to be there We all had a thing or two to learn We all needed something to cling to So we did I sang Alleluia in the choir I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man My brothers thy never went blind for what they did But I may as well have In the name of the Father, the Skeptic an the Son I had one more stupid question What I learned I rejected but I believe again I will suffer the consequences of this inquisition If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven We all had delusions in our head We all had our minds made up for us We had to believe in something So we did Alanis Morissette |

Hands Clean Hands Clean If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much Ooh this could be messy But you don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me You're kind of my protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian I know you sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it Ooh this could get messy But you don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? What with this distance it seems so obvious? Just make sure you don't tell on me especially to members of your family We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of Our inner posse I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing When you're done up properly I might want to marry you one day if you'd watch that weight And keep your firm body Ooh this could be messy and Ooh I don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime... Alanis Morissette |
Head Over Feet Head Over Feet I had no choice but to hear you You stated your case time and again I thought about it You treat me like I´m a princess I´m not used to liking that You ask how my day was You´ve already won me over in spite of me Don´t be alarmed if I fall head over feet Don´t be surprised if I love you for all that you are I couldn´t help it It´s all your fault Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole You´re so much braver than I gave you credit for That´s not lip service You are the bearer of unconditional things You held your breath and the door for me Thanks for your patience You´re the best listener that I´ve ever met You´re my best friend Best friend with benefits What took me so long I´ve never felt this healthy before I´ve never wanted something rational I am aware now I am aware now Alanis Morissette |
Heart Of The House Heart Of The House You are the original template. You are the original exemplary. How seen were you, actually? How revered were you (honestly) at the time? Why pleased with your low maintenance? Where was your ally, your partner in feminine crime? Oh, mother, who's your buddy? Oh, mother, who's got your back? The heart of the house, The heart of the house. All hail the goddess. You were 'good 'ol' You were "count on'er til four am" You saw me run from the house In the snow melodramatically. Oh, mother, who's your sister? Oh, mother, who's your friend? The heart of the house. The heart of the house. All hail the goddess. We left the men and we went for a walk in the gatineaus And talked like women, Like women to women would. Womyn to womyn would "Where did you get that from? Must've been your father, your dad". I got it from you, I got it from you. Do you see yourself in my gypsy garage sale ways? In my fits of laughter? In my tinkerbell tendencies? In my lack of color coordination? Alanis Morissette |

Never A Waste Of Time Never A Waste Of Time I know there's a reason you're forcing a smile You hide what you're feeling and you have for a while I can tell that you're falling And you feel that you can't go on But a new day is calling And you'll see that the feeling is gone You know you're not the only one Who has a lot to overcome And when the time has come then you move on 'Cause you've been crying for too long Sometimes life is so unkind But change is never a waste of time I know how you're feeling, I've been there before The hurting is something much to strong to ignore Don't be waiting for someone Who can take all your fear away When there's no one to listen That is when you should not be afraid But change is never a waste... it's never a waste of time Alanis Morissette |
No Pressure Over Cappucinos No Pressure Over Cappucinos And you're like a 90's Jesus And you revel in your psychosis How dare you? You sample concepts like hors d'oeurves And you eat their questions for dessert And is it just me or is it hot in here? And you're like a 90's Kennedy And you're only a million years old They can't fool you They'll throw opinions like rocks in riots And they'll stumble around like hypocrites And is it just me or is it dark in here? You may never be or have a husband You may never have or hold a child You will learn to loose everything We are temporary arrangements And you're like a 90's Noah And they laughed at you when you packed all of your things And they wonder why you're frustrated And they wonder why you're so angry Is it just me or are you fed up And god bless you in you're travels İn your conquests and queries...

On My Own On My Own Why do I feel it's all up to me to see that Everything's right and it's how it should be Why don't they just leave me alone I've got to prove I can Little girl with stars in her eyes they've Got her all figured out and there's nowhere To hide why can't they all see who I am When will they understand It may take some time they don't know how İt feels because they can't read my mind They always say I'm too young and they Feel they should help me But I can make it all alone out here on my own Every day I feel so in demand and all I Wish I could find is a place I can land One day I'll feel comfort inside cause I'll Know who I am I can hold the line if I know in the end That I won't be left behind I don't regret What I've done I don't think you can blame me Now I'm standin' all alone out here on my own I'm not thinking 'bout leavin' home But I need to be on my own Doesn't mean I have a heart of stone I won't even ask them why I can't ever let them see me cry Here I'm standing all alone out here on my own... Out here on my own Feeling lost in a world full of lies I can't help thinkin' that love is just Passin' me by Hold on to what I believe And keep an open hand Can I have it all if there's no one to Turn to when I stumble and fall Is there a secret I need because no one Has told me - all alone It may take some time cause I know How it feels to have a lot on your mind I'll never feel all alone cause I Know that I have me Now I can make it all alone out here on my own Alanis Morissette |

Surely we both can't be amazing! And give up my hard earned status As fabulous freak of nature? I have abused my power forgive me You mean we actually are all one One one one one one one one Always looked good on paper Sounded good in theory Alanis Morissette |
Perfect Perfect Sometimes is never quite enough If you're flawless, then you'll win my love Don't forget to win first place Don't forget to keep that smile on your face Be a good boy Try a little harder You've got to measure up And make me prouder How long before you screw it up How many times do I have to tell you to hurry up With everything I do for you The least you can do is keep quiet Be a good girl You've gotta try a little harder That simply wasn't good enough To make us proud I'll live through you I'll make you what I never was If you're the best, then maybe so am I Compared to him, compared to her I'm doing this for your own damn good You'll make up for what I blew What's the problem...why are you crying Be a good boy Push a little harder now That wasn't fast enough To make us happy We'll love you just the way you are if you're perfect Alanis Morissette |
Rain Rain It was the night Rod Stewart played And we were, were standing in the pouring rain If I had known it was the last time I would see you again... I would change everything... I look through the broken glass I watch the storm go through my mind There's so much I had to say I know the words I left behind And now I'm caught in a daydream with nowhere to run and hide The world rushes by me, it's leaving me here all alone (I would change everything, but I can't do anything I would give all that I have to know where you are) I'll always carry you inside my heart and you You'll never know how much I wonder where you are I always knew that you would take a part of me away with you And I never got to say good-bye I look in the mirror now and all I see is yesterday At night I hear your voice and it is calling out my name And with every hour just hold on to what you can They're lost in a moment and fading away in the night (I would change everything, but I can't do anything I would give all that I have just to know where you are) ...and I never..ever...said good-bye... That night is just a memory But I still feel you standing next to me And when I think I hear your voice all I hear is the RAIN... Alanis Morissette |
So Pure So Pure You from new york you are so relevant You reduce me to cosmic tears Luminous more so than most anyone Unapologetically alive knot in my stomach And lump in my throat I love you when you dance when you freestyle in trance So pure such an expression Supposed former infatuation junkie I sink three pointers and you wax poetically I love you when you dance when you freestyle in trance So pure such an expression Let's grease the wheel over tea Let's discuss things in confidence Let's be outspoken let's be ridiculous Let's solve the world's problems I love you when you dance when you freestyle in trance So pure such an expression Alanis Morissette |
So Unsexy So Unsexy Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly One small sideways look and I feel so ungood Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make Me feel the way I thought only my father could Oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me One forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked How these little abandonments seem to sting so easily I'm 13 again am I 13 for good? I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful So unloved for someone so fine I can feel so boring for someone so interesting So ignorant for someone of sound mind Oh these little protections how they fail to serve me One forgotten phone call and I'm deflated Oh these little defenses how they fail to comfort me Your hand pulling away and I'm devastated When will you stop leaving baby? When will I stop deserting baby? When will I start staying with myself? Oh these little projections how they keep springing from me I jump my ship as I take it personally Oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly The moment I decide not to abandon me Alanis Morissette |
Superman Superman I'm lookin' for someone who can made me feel A serious love like Juliet's is real A little impulsive and a boy at heart A little bit shy but he'll be oh so smart Superman I need a superman You got a complicated girl like me He's gotta be fair and treat me properly yeah I want him to understand equality You gotta Keep searchin' everywhere in the world You gotta keep lookin' or you'll miss the feelin' You gotta be tough to make it today You do it your way and not how they say You'll find him somewhere You gotta be tough to make it today And never be scared of finding your way To Superman Should I call him on the telephone Should I go see him or just stay at home Will be different from the other boys İf I could find him I'd be overjoyed Superman where are the Supermen Whenever it seems like everything's on the line You gotta keep lookin' or you'll miss the feelin' With all the other boys I never knew What it took to make a choice When he's mine I'm gonna stop All my changin' around now Between the two of us there'll be Enough goin' on that's serious I can't wait 'til I can stop All my lookin' around now I found my Superman I found my Superman Whenever it seems like everything's On the line you gotta keep lookin' or You'll miss the feelin' Alanis Morissette |
Surrendering Surrendering You were full and fully capable You were self sufficient and needless Your house was fully decorated in that sense You were taken with me to a point A case of careful what you wish for But what you knew was enough to begin And so you called and courted fiercely So you reached out, entirely fearless And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves And I salute you for your courage And I applaud your perseverance And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial Forces That I represent So you were in but not entirely You were up for this but not totally You knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt And so you fell and you're intact So you dove in and you're still breathing So you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked And I support you in your trusting And I commend you for your wisdom And I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening Forces That I represent You found creative ways to distance You hid away from much through humor Your choice of armor was your intellect And so you felt and you're still here And so you died and you're still standing And so you softened and you're still safely in command Self protection was in times of true danger Your best defense to mistrust and be wary Surrendering a feat of unequalled measure And I'm thrilled to let you in Overjoyed to be let in in kind Alanis Morissette |
That I Would Be Good That I Would Be Good That I would be good even if I did nothing That I would be good even if I got the thumbs down That I would be good if I got and stayed sick That I would be good even if I gained ten pounds That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth That I would be great if I was no longer queen That I would be grand if I was not all knowing That I would be loved even when I numb myself That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed That I would be loved even when I was fuming That I would be good even if I was clingy That I would be good even if I lost sanity That I would be good Whether with or without you Alanis Morissette |
Uninvited Uninvited Like anyone would be I am flattered by your fascination with me Like any hot blooded woman I have simply wanted an object to crave But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate sight Must be strangely exciting To watch the stoic squirm Must be somewhat heartening To watch shepherd meet shepherd But you you're not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate sight Like any uncharted territory I must seem greatly intriguing You speak of my love like You have experienced love like mine before But this is not allowed You're uninvited An unfortunate sight I don't think you unworthy I need a moment to deliberate Alanis Morissette |
Unsent Unsent Dear Matthew, I like you a lot I realize you're in a relationship with someone right now and I respect that I would like you to know that if you're ever single in the future And you want to come visit me in California I would be open to spending time with you And finding out how old you were when you wrote your first song Dear Jonathan, I liked you too much I used to be attracted to boys who would lie to me And think solely about themselves And you were plenty self-destructive for my taste at the time I used to say the more tragic the better The truth is, whenever I think of the early 90s Your face comes up with a vengeance like it was yesterday Dear Terrance, I love you muchly You've been nothing but open hearted And emotionally available and supportive And nurturing, and consummately there for me I kept drawing you in and pushing you away I remember how beautiful it was to fall asleep on your couch And cry in front of you for the first time You were the best platform from which to jump beyond myself What was wrong with me Dear Marcus, you rocked my world You had a charismatic way about you with the woman And you got me seriously thinking about spirituality And you wouldn't let me get away with kicking my own ass But I could never really feel relaxed And looked out for around you, though And that stopped us from going any further than we did And it's kinda too bad because we could've had much more fun Dear Lou, we learned so much I realize we won't be able to talk for some time And I understand that as I do you The long distance thing was the hardest And we did as well as we could We were together during a very tumultuous time in our lives I will always have your back and be curious about you About your career, your whereabouts Alanis Morissette |
Wake Up Wake Up You like snow but only if it's warm You like rain but only if it's dry No sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor No fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for 'Cause it's easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you You like pain but only if it doesn't hurt too much You sit...and you wait...to receive There's an obvious attraction To the path of least resistance in your life There's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance could make you try tonight 'Cause it's easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you To you to you to you to you to you... There's no love no money no thrill anymore There's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy With his head in his hands There's an underestimated and impatient little girl Raising her hand But it's easy not to So much easier not to And what goes around never comes around to you To you, to you Get up get up get up off of it Get up get up get up off of it Get out get outta here enough already Get up get up get up off of it Wake up Alanis Morissette |
You Learn You Learn I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone I recommend walking around naked in your living room Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill) It feels so good (swimming in your stomach) Wait until the dust settles You live you learn You love you learn You cry you learn You lose you learn You bleed you learn You scream you learn I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone I certainly do I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at anytime Feel free Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind) Hold it up (to the rays) You wait and see when the smoke clears Wear it out (like a three-year-old would do) Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway) The fire trucks are coming up around the bend You grieve you learn You choke you learn You laugh you learn You choose you learn You pray you learn You ask you learn You live you learn Alanis Morissette |
You Oughta Know You Oughta Know Want you to know that I'm happy for you I wish nothing but the best for you both An older version of me Is she perverted like me Would she go down on you in a theater Does she speak eloquently And would she have your baby I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother 'Cause the love that you gave that we made Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, 'til you died But you're still alive And I'm here to remind you Of the mess you left when you went away It's not fair to deny me Of the cross I bear that you gave to me You, you, you oughta know You seem very well, things look peaceful I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity I hate to but you in the middle of dinner It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced Are you thinking of me when you fuck her 'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no And every time you speak her name Does she know how you told me you'd hold me Until you died, 'til you died But you're sill alive 'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me And I'm not gonna fade As soon as you close your eyes and you know it And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back I hope you feel it...well can you feel it Alanis Morissette |
Your Congratulations Your Congratulations I wouldn't have compromised as much So much of myself for fear of having you hating me I would've sung so loudly It would've cracked myself! I became self-conscious Of anything exuberant I wouldn't have sold myself short I wouldn't have kept my eyes Glued to the ground İf I hadn't known my invisibility Would not make a difference I would've run around screaming proudly At the top of my voice I wouldn't have said it was in fact luck I'm talking idealism here I would not have been so self deprecating I wouldn't have cowered For fear of having my eyes cut my comfort off I wouldn't have feigned needlessness I would not have discredited Every one of their compliments İt was your approval I wanted Your congratulations... Alanis Morissette |
Your House Your House I went to your house Walked up the stairs Opened your door without ringing the bell Walked down the hall Into your room where I could smell you And I shouldn't be here Without permission Shouldn't be here... Would you forgive me love if I dance in your shower? Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed? Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon? I took off my clothes Put on your robe Went through your drawers And I found your cologne Went down do the den Found your CD s And I played your Joni And I shouldn't stay long You might be home soon Shouldn't stay long... Would you forgive me love if I danced in your shower Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed? Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon? I burned your incense I ran a bath I noticed a letter that sat on your desk It said: "Hello love. I love you so, love. Meet me at midnight." And no, it wasn't my writing I'd better go soon It wasn't my writing So forgive me love if I cry in your shower So forgive me love for the salt in your bed So forgive me love if I cry all afternoon Alanis Morissette |
