Alanis Morissette - Would You Forgive Me ?

I went to your house
Walked up the stairs,
Opened your door
With the ring of bells
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 danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me love,
If I layed in your bed ?
Would you forgive me love,
If I stayed all afternoon?

I took off my clothes
Put on your robe,
Went through your drawers and I found your cologne
Went down to the din’
Found your CDs
And I played your journey.

And I shouldn’t stay long.
You might be home soon.

I shouldn’t stay long.
Would you forgive me love,
If I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me love,
If I layed in your bed?
Would you forgive me love,
If I stayed all afternoon?

I burn your insence.
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.

I’m broke but I’m happy
I’m poor but I’m kind
I’m short but I’m healthy baby
I’m high but I’m grounded
I’m sane but I’m overwelmed
I’m lost but I’m hopeful baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything is gonna be fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five

I feel drunk but I’m sober
I’m young but I’m underpaid
I’m tired but I’m working yeah
I care but I’m restless
I’m here but I’m really gone
I’m wrong and I’m sorry baby

What it all comes down to
Is that everything is gonna be quite alright
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flicking a cigarette

What it all comes down to

Is that I haven’t got it all figured out just yet
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a peace sign

I’m free but I’m focused
I’m green but I’m wise
I’m hard but I’m friendly baby
I’m sad but I’m laughing
I’m brave but I’m chicken shit
I’m sick but I’m pretty baby

What it all boils down to
Is that no one’s really got it figured out just yet
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playing the piano

What it all comes down to
Is that everything is gonna be fine fine fine
I’ve got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailing a taxi cab…

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

Chorus
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 protege
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

Chorus

What part of our historys 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 watch that weight and keep your firm body

Chorus
