Lyrics Alanis Morissette

Alanis Morissette

Receive

I wake up and first things first

I’m of service

I make sure your needs are met, as a selfless

I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break

I give big, I give all and now it’s time to regenerate

Today’s all about me, all about cup filling

Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive

How to receive,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I move on through offerings often one-sided

Being this low on list of worth: over-extended

I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief

I look out, I proffer, and now I need some respite indeed

Today’s all about me, all about cup filling

Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive

How to receive,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

My habit to love you first and me: remainders

Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger

I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat

I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me

Today’s all about me, all about cup filling

Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive

How to receive,

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

How to receive

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

How to receive

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

How to receive

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

How to receive
