[Verse 1]
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
Yeah, oh yeah
I recommend walkin' around naked in your living room
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow it down
What a jagged little pill
It feels so good
Swimming in your stomach
Wait until the dust settles

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Verse 2]
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly, certainly, certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free

[Pre-Chorus]
Throw it down
The caution blocks you from the wind
Hold it up to the rays
You wait and see when the smoke clears

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Pre-Chorus]
Wear it out
The way a nine year old and a
Three and three quarters and a six month old would do
Melt it down
You're gonna have to eventually anyway
The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn
You grieve, you learn
You choke, you learn
You laugh, you learn
You choose, you learn
And you pray, you learn
You ask, you learn
You live, you learn

[Outro]
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.
