Alanis Morissette

[Verse 1]
All these little rejections, how they add up quickly
One small sideways look and I feel so ungood
And somewhere along the way, I think I gave you the power to make
Me feel the way I thought only my father could
All these little rejections, how they seem so real to me
One forgotten birthday, I'm all but cooked
And how these little abandonments seem to sting so easily
I'm 13 again, am I 13 for good?

[Chorus]
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved and for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind

[Verse 2]
All these little protections, how they fail to serve me
One forgotten phone call and I'm deflated
And all these little defenses, how they fail to comfort me
Your hand pulling away and I'm devastated

[Chorus]
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved and for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind

[Bridge]
When will you stop leaving, baby?
When will I stop deserting, baby?
When will I start staying with myself?

[Verse 3]
All these little projections, how they keep springing from me
I jump my ship as I take it personally
And all these little rejections, how they disappear quickly
The moment I decide not to abandon me

[Chorus]
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved and for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved and for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind

Alanis Nadine Morissette was born on June 1, 1974, in Ottawa, Canada. At age 6, she began taking piano lessons, and by the time she was 9, she was writing her own songs.

When she was 11, Morissette joined the cast of a Nickelodeon children’s show called You Can’t Do That on Television, and saved up her earnings. In 1987, she used them to self-release her first track, “Fate Stay With Me.” The song caught the attention of record label MCA Canada; at age 14, Morissette signed a contract with the company. She released a self-titled album, Alanis, in 1991, which went platinum. Quickly following up the success of her first album, Morissette released Now Is The Time a year later, though it did not reach the same level of popularity.

In 1994 Morissette moved to Los Angeles teamed up with industry veteran Glen Ballard, and she began to approach songwriting more organically.
