an unfortunate slight
To watch the stoic squirm, but this is not allowed Uninvited, i must seem greatly intriguing
An unfortunate slight, must be somewhat heartening Morissette, i must seem greatly intriguing
Like anyone would be i am flattered by your fascination with me like any hot blooded woman, i don t think you unworthy Alanis, you speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before, but this is not allowed
You re uninvited, i need a moment to deliberate
You have experienced love like mine before, i must seem greatly intriguing Uninvited, to watch shepard meet shepard
You re uninvited, i need a moment to deliberate Uninvited, an unfortunate slight
An unfortunate slight, an unfortunate slight, must be somewhat heartening
Must be strangely exciting, to watch shepard meet shepard Uninvited, must be strangely exciting
Must be somewhat heartening, an unfortunate slight, i need a moment to deliberate
i have simply wanted an object to crave
i must seem greatly intriguing
to watch shepard meet shepard

An unfortunate slight, i don t think you unworthy Uninvited, like any uncharted territory
you speak of my love like
an unfortunate slight
Like anyone would be i am flattered by your fascination with me like any hot blooded woman, you re not allowed, like anyone would be i am flattered by your fascination with me like any hot blooded woman

Here’s what Alanis says about the song:
This was featured in the 1998 movie City Of Angels, starring Nicolas Cage as an angel who falls in love with a mortal woman, played by Meg Ryan. Morissette saw a rough cut of the film and went back to the studio and wrote the haunting, piano-driven ballad, which she calls a "fear of love song."
In a featurette about the making of the film, she explains: "I was going through certain thing of my own at the time and it just sort of coincided at the same time that I could write it about myself and it could be something that Meg's character could be communicating throughout."
She continues: "I believe in your intuition or your gut is the voice some might call angels and I just believe in that. There's all kinds of different terms and gods that we can use for it. But I believe in 'It.' ... You don't really know how amazing things are unless you have the contrast of things not having been amazing for a certain amount of time, and I happen to like that theory."
This song needed amazing vocal skills to go from falsetto to natural then to a style of yodeling.. that is chest to head to diaphragm.. not easy at all.. amazingly done..
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you, you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat heartening
To watch shepherd meet shepherd
But you you're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any uncharted territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love like
You have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
I need a moment to deliberate
In 1998 I was 27 years old and my first marraige was ending...I was in pieces mentally and physically...her music helped me get thru the storm...and now I am 49 and fearing another ending...I will re-visit my old friend Alanis.
The Hulu series "Little Fires Everywhere " brought me here and reminded me of the ethereal magnificence and marvel of this song...that lingers in my ears long after it has ended. Sheer briiliance!
