[Verse 1]
I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here, without permission
I shouldn't be here

[Chorus]
Would you forgive me, love
If I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love
If I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love
If I stay all afternoon?

[Verse 2]
I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
I went through your drawers
And I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CD's
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long

[Chorus]
Would you forgive me, love
If I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love
If I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love
If I stay all afternoon?

[Verse 3]
I burned your incense
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

[Chorus]
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

Alanis Morissette

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.
