[Verse 1]
You from New York
You are so relevant
You reduce me to cosmic tears
Luminous more so than most anyone
Unapologetically alive
Knot in my stomach and lump in my throat

[Chorus]
I love you when you dance
When you freestyle in trance
So pure, such an expression
I love you when you dance
When you freestyle in trance
So pure, such an expression

[Verse 2]
Supposed former infatuation junkie
I sink three pointers and you wax poetically

[Chorus]
I love you when you dance
When you freestyle in trance
So pure, such an expression
I love you when you dance
When you freestyle in trance
So pure, such an expression

[Bridge]
Let's grease the wheel over tea
Let’s discuss things in confidence
Let's be outspoken, let's be ridiculous
Let’s solve the world's problems

[Chorus]
I love you when you dance
When you freestyle in trance
So pure, such an expression
I love you when you dance
When you freestyle in trance
So pure, such an expression

[Outro]
So pure

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.
