Alanis Morissette

Quotes

1. There's an obvious attraction

   To the path of least resistance in your life

   Well there's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistence

   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.

2. 

   A traffic jam when you're already late,

   A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break.

   It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.

   It's meeting the man of my dreams

   And then meeting his beautiful wife.And isn't it ironic?

   Don't you think?

   A little too ironic,

   And yeah, I really do think.

3. 

   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.

4. 

   And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off,

   Slap me with the splintered ruler.

   And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already.

   If only I could hunt the hunter.

5. 

   I sang Alleluia in the choir (Alleluia)

   I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man.

   My brothers,

   They never went blind for what they did, but I may as well have.

   In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son,

   I had one more stupid question.

6. 

   Do I stress you out?

   My sweater is on backwards and inside out

   And you say, "How appropriate!"

7. 

   Wait a minute, man

   You mispronounced my name

   You didn't wait for all the information

   Before you turned me away.

   Wait a minute, sir,

   You kind of hurt my feelings.

   You see me as a sweet back-loaded puppet

   And you've got meal ticket taste.

8. 

   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.

   And don't be alarmed if I fall

   Head over feet.

   And don't be surprised if I love you

   For all that you are.

   I couldn't help it,

   It's all your fault.

9. 

   'Cause the joke that you made 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?

    I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed.

    I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby.And what it all comes down to

    Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine.

    'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket

    And the other one is givin' a high five.

11. 

    '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?

    Till 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.

    Yeah, oh.

    I recommend walkin' around naked in your living room

    It feels so good (Swimming in your stomach)

    Wait until the dust settlesYou live, you learn.

    You love, you learn.

    You cry, you learn.

    You lose, you learn.

    You bleed, you learn.

    You scream, you learn.
