Doth I Protest Too Much?

Alanis Morissette · Original Album Series [2012]

I'm not threatened by every pair of legs you watch go by

I don't cringe when you stare at women

It's just a thing called 'guy'

I don't notice your sideways glances or where your loyalty lies

I'm secure and out of me it's hard to get a rise



I'm not jealous

I don't get moved by much

I'm not enraged

Not insecure as such

Not going insane

Rational, stays in touch

And doth I protest too much?



I'm not tortured by how often you're busy

'Cause I've got things to do

I'm not disappointed about how you don't miss me

'Cause I don't need you to



I'm not needy

I don't get clingy much

I am not scared

I'm not afraid as such

I'm not dependent

Rock solid, stays in touch

And doth I protest too much?



So much energy to prove to you who I can't possibly be

So much energy to prove to you I'm not who you hate for me to be



I'm not saddened and I don't miss you

'Cause I have moved on, too

I'm not concerned about your new lover

'Cause I've a new lover, too



I'm not depressed

I don't get down that much

I'm not despondent

I am not dark as such

I'm never sad

Keep chin up, stays in touch

And doth I protest too much?



I'm not jealous

I don't get moved by much

I'm not enraged

Not insecure as such

Not going insane

Rational, stays in touch

And doth I protest too much?
