  • I had no choice but to hear you
    You stated your case, time and again
    I thought about it
    You treat me like I'm a princess
    I'm not used to liking that
    You ask how my day was

    You've already won me over
    In spite of me
    And don't be alarmed if I fall
    Head over feet
    And don't be surprised if I love you
    For all that you are
    I couldn't help it
    It's all your fault

    Your love is thick
    And it swallowed me whole
    You're so much braver
    Than I gave you credit for
    That's not lip service

    You've already won me over
    In spite of me
    And don't be alarmed if I fall
    Head over feet
    And don't be surprised if I love you
    For all that you are
    I couldn't help it
    It's all your fault

    You are the bearer
    Of unconditional things
    You held your breath
    And the door for me
    Thanks for your patience

    You're the best listener
    That I've ever met
    You're my best friend
    Best friend with benefits
    What took me so long?
    I've never felt this healthy before
    I've never wanted something rational
    I am aware now, oh
    I am aware now

    You've already won me over
    In spite of me
    And don't be alarmed if I fall
    Head over feet
    And don't be surprised if I love you
    For all that you are
    I couldn't help it
    It's all your fault

    You've already won me over
    In spite of me
    And don't be alarmed if I fall
    Head over feet
    And don't be surprised if I love you
    For all that you are
    I couldn't help it
    It's all your fault

    I couldn't help it
    It's all your fault Writer/s: Alanis Nadine Morissette, Glen Ballard

  • Lonewulfinvegas from Las VegasNever could figure out going from sex 'your love is thick and it swallowed me whole' to 'you're so much braver (?) than I gave you credit for' then back to see (maybe) 'that's not lip service'

    I'm a song lyricist... never cared for the song... though did like a lot of her music. Just too no sequitur for my tastes.
  • M from UsaMy now wife would often say to me "it's all your fault" when talking about our relationship. Years later she shared with me she was calling out to this song because it captures how she feels about me. She said if she ever dies before me to play this song at her funeral. I have loved her since the first day we met and it has only grown since.
  • Seth from Sin CityThis songs came out during my college years. There was this girl that I really liked, and I remember giving her the Jagged Little Pill album along with a poster of Alanis because she was a big fan of hers. I could relate with the lyrics because I imagined that that's how she felt for me. I was really in love with her, and I showed it everytime I got the chance. Alas, we didn't get to be together because she felt that having a relationship would have ruined our friendship.

    We remained friends throughout the rest of college, although it wasn't quite the same as it was before she found out that I liked her. We each have our own family now, but from time to time I would reminisce about those times when she was my special someone.
