All I Really Want
Alanis Morissette

Do I stress you out?

My sweater is on backwards and inside out

And you say, How appropriate


I don't dissect everything today

I don't mean to pick you apart you see

But I can't help it


An' there I go jumpin' before the gunshot has gone off

Slap me with a splintered ruler

And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already

If only I could hunt the hunter


And all I really want is some patience

A way to calm the angry voice

And all I really want is deliverance

Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah


Do I wear you out?

You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out

I'm consumed by the chill of solitary


I'm like Estella

I like to reel it in and then spit it out

I'm frustrated by your apathy


And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land

If only I could meet the maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man

I am humbled by his humble nature, ya


An' what I wouldn't give to find a soul mate?

Someone else to catch this drift

An' what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred?

Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah


Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute

Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while

The conflicts, the craziness

And the sound of pretenses is fallin'

All around, all around


Why are you so petrified of silence?

Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, you ex, your deadlines

Or when you think you're gonna die?

Or did you long for the next distraction?


An' all I need now is intellectual intercourse

A soul to dig the hole much deeper

And I have no concept of time other than it is flyin'

If only I could kill the killer


An' all I really want is some peace man

A place to find a common ground

And all I really want is a wavelength

Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah


An' all I really want is some comfort

A way to get my hands untied

And all I really want is some justice

Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah


'Cause all I really want is some patience

[Inaudible]

And all I really want is deliverance

A place to find a common ground

And all I really want is some justice

[Inaudible]
