That I Would Be GoodAlanis Morissette

Songwriter: Glen Ballard Alanis Morissette

Producer: Alanis Morissette Glen Ballard

Jonas Brothers covered "Year 3000" by Busted in 2006. To make their version more commercial and radio-friendly for their target young audience, some of the original lyrics were altered. Their version says that the Jonas Brothers' "7th album ... outsold Kelly Clarkson" instead of Michael Jackson and "Girls there with round hair like Star Wars float above the floor" instead of "triple-breasted women swim around town totally naked." Although the Jonas Brothers version was released in 2006 Read more on Last.fm.

Length: 3:21

[Verse 1]
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 ten pounds
That I would be fine even if I went bankrupt
That I would be good if I lost my hair and my youth
That I would be great if I was no longer queen
That I would be grand if I was not all knowing

[Chorus]
That I would be loved even when I numb myself
That I would be good even when I am overwhelmed
That I would be loved even when I was fuming
That I would be good even if I was clingy

[Verse 2]
That I would be good even if I lost sanity
That I would be good whether with or without you

[Outro]
I, I would
I, I

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.
