[Verse 1]
Friday night's your poem
Saturday your wet dream
Sunday wakes you up slowly
To a face that you don't wanna see, no
Well, I turned you on, but I left you hungry
And your heart didn't matter 'til the weekend is gone
Baby, you're sure you're getting some
Really didn't matter where the candy came from, oh

[Chorus]
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe

[Verse 2]
Should I take a number?
Should I wait for a day to arrive?
I still hear you cry on my shoulder when
Its not nice on what I gave you tonight
But I let you in but you leave me standing
And you wonder why I can't relate anymore
Don't you ever think of what it comes down to
No one has to figure out the way that I do
And you know I do

[Chorus]
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe

[Bridge]
Slow and easy
I'll tell you that's the way to go
It'll change the way you see me
And you'll will know it
And you will know

[Chorus]
So if the love that you're chasing after
Is in the heart to be found in the out of reach
Well, if you break it all down
Take a good look around, you'd see
That it's closer than you might believe

[Outro]
Just turn around and get it

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.
