Will You Be My Girlfriend?

Alanis Morissette · Havoc and Bright Lights [2012]

I didn't know how to ask unawkwardly

I didn't know how to approach it

I haven't known how to do this informally

Not cut out for dropping masks



I guess I give, and you give back

Is that right?

Guess I listen and you feedback

Is that right?

I guess I call when I need help

Is that right?

Will You be my girlfriend?



I haven't worn my heart on sleeves and been rewarded

with an open heartedness

I haven't felt I had the right to be supported

with a golden tenderness



I guess I risk and you risk back

Is that right?

I guess I share and you share back

Is that right?

Guess I uplift you when you crack

Is that right?

Will You be my girlfriend?



Can I lean on your shoulder?

Will you join me in some pact?

Will you see me as your sister?

Can we love enough to offer that?



I guess I thought that you would laugh and be daunted

And think me clingy and too much

I thought this much too vulnerable, and you'd not cut

me slack

And think me intolerable



I guess I fall and you stay intact

Is that right?

I guess you hear me and won't attack me

Is that right?

Guess I reach out and you reach back

Is that right?

Will you be my girlfriend?



Guess I divulge and you wink back

Is that right?

Guess you cry, I pat your back

Is that right?

I guess I text and you text back

Is that right?

Will you be my girlfriend?

Is that right?



Will you be my girlfriend?
