Alanis Morissette - All I Really Want Lyrics






Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say how appropriate
I don't want to dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart you see
But I can't help it
There I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with a splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm so relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the Maker

And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I am humbled by his humble nature
What I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses
Falling all around...all around
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here can you handle this?

Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

And all I really want is some peace man
a place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice...

It's all I really want, some patience
A way to calm me down
And all I really want is deliverance
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is some justice

  5. a.... r....

    The album of a generation

  6. M.... C....

    Wesley Willis brought me here.

  7. E.... a....

    All I really want is for the douchebag singers of the last two decades to stop mumbling over a trap beat(wearing no clothes)acting "swag"to pull their head out of their asses and die out just like their stupid little trends...and then let the true legends bring real music and real talent back....

  8. F.... L....

    This was the first CD I ever bought, and thanks to Alanis I started to speak English at 14!

  9. J.... S....

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Three_(Wicca) actually 3 fold law. Whatever you do returns 3 fold. good returns 3 fld. 3x the good i think

    Jagged Little Pill is one of the best records ever produced! As a child growing up in the 90 's I grew up to my Dad playing this. I used to steal the CD and play it whilst I did the washing up.
    There are not many records out there where I like every single song, but this was the first!

  28. j.... j....

    Everyone in my class thinks I’m weird because I like Alanis’(s?) music. I think they’re weird for listening to whatever crap is being made today. This music makes me feel emotion. I’m so glad to have discovered this music, I’m not sure what I’d be listening to without it. ❤️❤️❤️

    K.... C....

    You are awesome!

  38. a.... c....

    i thought she was going to blow away sheryl, but i was mistaken, she blew her load on this album, but, still a great piece of work, thank you alanis.

  39. j.... g....

    Im glad I found this. If you listen to one of her songs ,you have to listen to all of them. I think there are 2 albums after this one.i haven't heard them but I will.

  40. B.... N....

    I wish I went to school with Alanis. She seems well spoken and you dont here that much nowadays.

  41. B.... M....

    This is needed so much today someone raise the flag!

  42. D.... ....

    What an album. Every song got to me. Truly one of the best albums ever created.

  43. O.... i....

    lmao everyone is so angry in these comments. For good reason though I guess.

    Thanks Dad for showing me this artist, I love heR sndndnnfndb

  44. K.... D....

    Just brilliant with real passion. This isn’t angry angry. This is conviction. Superb.

  45. L.... E....

    madonna knows alanis knows canada

  46. R.... ....

    To anyone that have asked, Ive said that this is the song that best descibe my life, till i converted... then it was "Thank you", also from her.

    Many of her songs identify my deepest feelings towards situations & events. I can mimic her voice and attitude quite close & i dont do that w any other singer. 🧡🦋🍂

  47. r.... c....

    me I stop listening after the 90's is their any thing to listen to now?

  48. R.... E....

    alannis Morris was a real trip! Whish she was my second half! What a trip that would have been!

  50. A.... S....

    I listened to this song when I was around 10 and I loved it.

    Now at 32 years of age I FINALLY understand and feel this song straight to the core

  51. L.... ....

    When I'm by myself and put this song on repeat because I just don't give a shit

  52. E.... D....

    Powerful. " what i really want is some JUSTICE"

  53. D.... M....

    Anger ✌️

  54. A.... R....

    I’m still consumed by the chill of solitary.. 20 years later.

  55. R.... J....

    All I really want is 90s music come back one my favorite songs 🥰💜👌

  56. J.... B....

    This whole cd means everything to me, I was in 4th grade when cops surrounded my house to take my father to state prision for 8 yrs ...he left me with this cd an I played it all day everyday had to buy multiple of them from being so scratched. This whole cd is my life story. 2 days ago I got the news that he passed away an I cant stop playing it all over again 😭 R.I.P DAD I ❤ AN MISS U

  57. D.... M....

    Alanis is my kindred.

  58. J.... F....

    Is there any current music that emulates this sound?

    All I hear are resounding NO's

  59. B.... W....

    Army travel ticket, St Anne's on Sea to ATR Winchester, 2005. Height of Summer and fuck it was a hot one. Never forget that train journey down South with my portable CD player and this on repeat throughout most of that journey. Wicked! Yo, that Basingstoke woman, hot as hell! How'd you ever end up with a guy like that??

  60. T.... C....

    I love this song ❤️

  61. N.... C....

    Love this song. And the album

  62. G.... S....

    Such a strong first song. Makes a statement right off the bat and tells you you're in for something special. Reminds me of the first song of The Pretenders' debut album "Precious". Strong band featuring a strong female vocal delivering a powerful message. Awesome.

  63. K.... T....

    still so good

  64. K.... A....

    Love this song.

    deep meaning. strong visionary lyrics... music somehow has lost the deep seated meaning... this reminds us. there is a real intelligent creativity out there. the observer observing and making relevant commentary...

    T.... S....

    I just pared this to Facebook... She is marvelously intelligent

  82. T.... W....

    This song is Legendary.
    They say that only Classical music is indefinite but, this will be looked at 100 years from now and humans will be so grateful and wishful, wondering what it was like to live though these times.

  83. K.... F....

    This album.......well, need I say more?

  84. R.... C....

    Great song.

  85. R.... W....

    Probably one of the best albums of the 90’s! I was in my mid 20’s when it came out and for 2 years Alanis was on radio and MTV because almost every song was a hit!

  86. J.... A....

    What I wouldn't give to meet a Kindred. Does anybody else think this means what I think it means?

    J.... A....

    Maybe I do Jeff ...what do you think it means?

  87. J.... G....

    Cheryll Hammock is talking to me

  93. S.... A....

    2019 anyone?

  94. D.... M....

    Ohhhh Canada!!!!❤❤❤❤

  95. A.... ....

    These lyrics are just so good. What an album opener and said this is all killer and filler. I would very much like for everybody to hear this song.

  96. D.... S....

    Saw & met this amazing lady on the Jagged Little Pill tour & i have to say it was simply amazing! Alanis was the most polite & friendly artist i have ever met. Loving her accent was hard to hide tho =P

  97. S.... T....

    God herself.

  98. S.... L....

    Just go away

    S.... L....

    This is not a real person. This is a robot. Just saying.
