  • Friday night's your poem
    Saturday, your wet dream
    Sunday wakes you up slowly
    To a face that you don't wanna see
    I turned you on, but I left you hungry
    And your heart didn't matter 'til the weekend is gone
    Baby, sure you're getting some
    Really didn't matter if I can't, whoa

    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

    Should I take a number?
    Should I wait for a day to arrive?
    I'll still let you cry on my shoulder, babe
    It's not advice I wanna give 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 else can figure you the way that I do
    And you know I do

    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

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

    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

    Just turn around and get it Writer/s: Alanis Nadine Morissette, Glen Ballard
