in spite of me and 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, its all your fault.”
You treat me like I’m a princess, I’m not use to liking that.
For those of you who haven’t listened to Alanis Morissette, or don’t actually know me, you should know that basically everything she writes and sings about relates to me almost 100%. So, if you want to know me, listen to her…a lot.
I’m broke, but I’m happy. I’m poor, but I’m kind. I’m short, but I’m healthy, yeah. 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 giving a high five. I’m young and I’m underpaid. I’m tired, but I’m working, yeah. I’m free, but I’m focused. 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.
A traffic jam…when you’re already late.
Its ten thousand spoons, when all you need is a knife.
Its meeting the man of my dreams…and then meeting his beautiful wife.
How about stopping eating when I’m filled up?
How about how good it feels to finally forgive you?
How about me not blaming you for everything?
How about unabashedly bawling your eyes out?
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 10 pounds.
That I would be grand, if I was not all knowing.
That I would be good, even when I am overwhelmed.
That I would be good, even if I lost sanity.
That I would be good, whether with or without you.
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone.
I recommend walking around naked in your living room.
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone.
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time.
Feel free.

I just read that she has a new album coming out this summer. I can so relate to “Everything” (and… much else that she writes…).
