[Intro]
So, um, thank you all so much for being here
It's been such a pleasure to perform—
Yeah, we love London so much and we're comin' back
And, uh, bless you, thank you

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

[Verse 2]
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd meet shepherd

[Chorus]
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight

[Verse 3]
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before

[Chorus]
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
Your unfortunate slight

[Outro]
I don't think you unworthy
But I need a moment to deliberate

[Interlude]
Whew
This song is for you, thank you so much

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.
