Forgive Me, Love

Alanis Morissette · Other Songs - Alanis Morissette

I went to your house

Walked up the stairs

And I opened your door without ringing the bell

Walked down the hall

Into your room

Where I could smell you -

And I

Shouldn't be here

Without permission

Shouldn't be here

Would you forgive me, love

If I danced in your shower?

Would you forgive me, love

If I laid in your bed?

Would you forgive me, love

If I stay all afternoon?

Oh...

I took off my clothes

Put on your robe

And I went through your drawers and I found your cologne

Went down to the den

Found your CD's

And I played your Johnny

And I

Shouldn't stay long

You might be home soon

I shouldn't stay long

Would you forgive me, love

If I danced in your shower?

Would you forgive me, love

If I laid in your bed?

Would you forgive me, love

If I stay all afternoon?

I burned your incense

I ran a bath

And I noticed a letter that sat on your desk

It said, "Hello, love

I love you so, love

Meet me at midnight" -

And, no

It wasn't my writing

I better go soon

It wasn't my writing

So, forgive me, love

If I cry in your shower

So, forgive me, love

For the salt in your bed

So, forgive me, love

If I cry all afternoon

Forgive Me, Love
