ALANIS MORISSETTE
"The Time Of Your Life"
(Serge Cote / Alanis Morissette)

Standing there on a road that leads to anywhere
Like a child left in the wilderness, standing there penniless
Wanting to be the best
Here's a place where life runs at a different pace
Where love is just convenient, none are obedient
And we are subservient
Look at me, I'm a girl that some may preconceive
Why do they try and generalize? Why are they antagonizing me?
But something I can't control

[Pre-Chorus:]
That I want you
You know I'll never stop 'til I've gotcha
You'll never be quite the same when I rock you
I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was
You'll have a good time

[Chorus:]
Because I want you
I'm breaking down the walls until I have you, feel you
Show you the time of your life

Here and I wonder how we've come this far
In a world that does not recognize
Women are victimized
What does that symbolize?
Why do I want the things I usually criticize?
It may be self destructiveness
Or maybe it's emptiness inside
But something I can't control

[Pre-Chorus:]
That I want you
You know I'll never stop until I've got ou
You'll never be quite the same when I rock you
I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was
You'll have a good time

[Chorus:]
Because I want you
I'm breaking down the walls until I have you, feel you
Show you the time of your life

It's a lonely road and no one knows the way that I feel
I'm not giving up now
I'll never try to justify, they'll never understand
You'll be a happy man
You'll have the time of your life

[Bridge:]
It's something, it's something
It's something that I can't control

[Pre-Chorus:]
You know I'll never stop 'til I've gotcha
You'll never be quite the same when I rock ya
I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was
You'll have a good time

[Chorus:]
Because I want you
I'm breaking down the walls until I have you, feel you
Show you the time of your life

[Bridge:]
The time of your life
The time of your life
I'll show you the time of your life
I'll let you have the time of your life

[Outro:]
The time of your life
I'll let you have the time of your life
