[Verse 1]
Baby, I've got this thing for you
I'm thinking there's something going on now
A wicked imagination
A serious kind of something new
It's driving me right out of my mind now
It's gotta be desperation

Can't feel no pain when I'm thinking about you
Dreaming isn't black and white
Can't make no gain until my vision comes true
Give it to me like I'd like to give it to you

[Chorus]
Love, I want to feel your love
Right from the bottom of my heart to your hands
Now baby, now love, I wanna feel your love
You know this waiting for you, boy, I can't stand

[Verse 2]
Being just who you wanna be
And doing whatever comes to mind, boy
I gotta get information
Never knew what to do with you
You're giving me something to hold on to
My newest infatuation

"People Power" means I gotta believe you
Can't you hear the voices calling
Keep your flowers because their colour will turn blue
Give it to me like I'd like to give it to you

[Chorus]
Love, I want to feel your love
Right from the bottom of my heart to your hands
Now baby, now love, I wanna feel your love
You know this waiting for you, boy, I can't stand
Now baby, now love, I wanna feel your love
You know this waiting for you, boy, I can't stand

Bring it down now, boys

[Chorus]
Love, I want to feel your love
Right from the bottom of my heart to your hands
Now baby, now love, I wanna feel your love
You know this waiting for you, boy, I can't stand

Whoa love, I want to feel your love
Right from the bottom of my heart to your hands
Now baby, now love, I want to feel your love
You know this waiting for you, boy, I can't stand

You got to have love (love)
You gotta have faith (faith)
You gotta have love (love)
Oh baby, now hear the voice
You got, you got love (love)
You gotta have faith (love)

You gotta have love, yeah (love)
You gotta have faith, faith yeah
You gotta have love, yeah (love)
You gotta have faith
You gotta have love, yeah (love)
You gotta have faith (faith)
You gotta have love (love)
Oh baby, now hear the voice

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.
