Into a King
Alanis Morissette · Other Songs - Alanis Morissette
Animal infatuation
But something within it prevailed
You were a sweet amalgamation
Of all the parts I have loved
The hottest slippery slope
And out came depth
And out comes healing
Out comes friendship unlike any I have known
Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
Continued and softened us up
Our rocks are hewn by this water of love
And steadfast: our pinky swear
And out comes fun
And out comes relief
Out comes championing unlike any I have known
Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
How far have we come
And how far we've yet to go
'Til we're gray, great grandparents
'Til we're one tiny little wrinkle
I say I do, I do, I do
Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
And so, we'll traipse from Paper through Diamonds
A family tree's genesis
Our fingers 'twining together
And out comes ever
And out comes alchemy
And out comes drooling on your chest
Happy Anniversary, baby
You've gone from a prince into a king
Happy Anniversary, darling
I've gone from a maiden to a queen
Ohh-oh-oh-ohh
Ohh-oh-ohh
Ohh-oh-oh-ohh, ohh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh
Ohh-oh-oh-ohh
I do, I do, I do
Ohh-oh-ohh
I do, I do, I do
Ohh-oh-oh-ohh, ohh-oh-ohh, oh-oh-ohh
I do, I do, I do...
