That I Would Be Good
Alanis Morissette · MTV Unplugged
That i would be good even if i did nothing
That i would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That i would be good if I got and stayed sick
That i would be good even if I gained ten pounds
That i would be fine even if i went bankrupt
That i would be good if i lost my hair and my youth
That i would be great if i was no longer queen
That i would be grand if i was not all knowing
That i would be loved even when i numb myself
That i would be good even when i am overwhelmed
That i would be loved even when i was fuming
That i would be good even if i was clingy
That i would be good even if i lost sanity
That i would be good whether with or without you
That i would be good even if I got the thumbs down
That i would be good if I got and stayed sick
That i would be good even if I gained ten pounds
That i would be fine even if i went bankrupt
That i would be good if i lost my hair and my youth
That i would be great if i was no longer queen
That i would be grand if i was not all knowing
That i would be loved even when i numb myself
That i would be good even when i am overwhelmed
That i would be loved even when i was fuming
That i would be good even if i was clingy
That i would be good even if i lost sanity
That i would be good whether with or without you
