Heart Of The House
Alanis Morissette
You are the original template
You are the original exemplary
How seen were you, actually?
How revered were you (honestly) at the time?
Why pleased with your low maintenance?
You loved us more
Than we couldn't love you back
Where was your ally?
Your partner in feminine crime?
Oh, mother, who's your buddy?
Oh, mother, who's got your back?
The heart of the house
The heart of the house
All hail the goddess
You were good 'ol
You were count on'er til 4 AM
You saw me run from the house
In the snow, melodramatically
Oh, mother, who's your sister?
Oh, mother, who's your friend?
The heart of the house
The heart of the house
All hail the goddess
We left the men and we went
For a walk in the Gatineau's
And talked like women
Like women to women would
Women to women would
Where did you get that from?
Must've been your father, your dad
I got it from you, I got it from you
Do you see yourself
In my gypsy garage sale ways?
In my fits of laughter?
In my tinkerbell tendencies?
In my lack of color coordination?
