Heart of the House Songtext

von 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 could've loved 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 four 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 to the goddess!
We left the men and we went for a walk in the gatineaus
And talked like women like women to women would
Womyn to womyn 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 gipsy garage sale ways?
In my fits of laughter?
In my tinkerbell tendenices?
In my lack of colour coordination?
