The Time Of Your Life

Alanis Morissette · Now Is The Time [1992]

Standing there on a road that leads to anywhere

Like a child left in the wilderness, standing there penniless

Wanting to be the best.



Here's a place where life runs at a different pace

Where love is just convenient; none are obedient

And we are subservient.



Look at me

I'm a girl that some may preconceive

Why do they try and generalize?

Why are they antagonizing me?

But something I can't control that...



I wantcha!

You know I'll never stop 'til I've gotcha!

You'll never be quite the same when I rock ya!

I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was -

You'll have a good time

'Cause I wantcha

I'm breaking down the walls 'til I have you, feel you

Show you the time of your life.



Here we are and I wonder how we've come this far

In a world that does not recognize

Women are victimized

What does that symbolize?

Why do I want the things I usually criticize

It may be self-destructiveness

Or maybe it's emptiness inside

But something I can't control that...



I wantcha!

You know I'll never stop 'til I've gotcha!

You'll never be quite the same when I rock ya!

I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was -

You'll have a good time

'Cause I wantcha

I'm breaking down the walls 'til I have you, feel you

You'll have a good time.



It's a lonely road, and no one knows

The way that I feel

I'm not giving up now

I'll never try to justify

They'll never understand; you'll be a happy man

You'll have the time of your life.



It's something, it's something,

It's something that I can't control

You know I'll never stop 'til I've gotcha!

You'll never be quite the same when I rock ya!

I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was -

You'll have a good time

'Cause I wantcha

(I wantcha)

I'm breaking down the walls 'til I have you, feel you

Show you the time of your life

The time of your life

The time of your life

(I'll show ya) The time of your life

I'll let you have the time of your life

The time of your life

I'll let you have the time of your life...
