Alanis Morissette - An Emotion Away Lyrics






I had high expectations
It's something I could not compromise
And when I saw you I wasn't ready
It completely took my heart by surprise

Who...And when I think of the time I med you
The situation looked harmless
It wasn't long before I got confused enough
And soon I realized that your...

[CHORUS:]
Love is just an emotion away
I know it's gonna get to you
Love will be only a moment away
A moment away you know it's true

Lately the way I'm feeling
It's something I could never have planned
I knew that one day I'd find a love thing
Now I'll never stop believing in chance

I put my heart on a shelf forever
I never thought I would find you
I didn't know any better baby
But then I realized that your...

[CHORUS]

Love is crazy love love is crazy and soon you're gonna get some

Alanis Morissette An Emotion Away Comments
  1. r.... m....

    I wonder if Avril Lavigne got her inspiration from her.

  2. N.... ....

    I really mistook this for Paula Abdul at first.

  3. d.... ....

    Hhahaha Alanis was such a terrible actress but her early songs are all amazing. I simply love this one and her dancing skills!!

  4. C.... B....

    Nice tune...

  5. T.... T....

    Honestly find myself listening to her pop stuff more than her rock stuff. Although she really declined after JLP imo. But I love her pop eras!

  6. d.... ....

    Dance Alanis! :D

  7. j.... f....

    Freaky high vocals, it's good she matured into a lot more womanly character but then hey, Madonna...

  8. A.... M....

    my childhood! XoXo <3

  9. r.... ....

    AWESOME beats .. her first two albums are GEMS!!!!!

  10. B.... S....

    i am a big fan of her music back then i knew that she can dance like Paula Abdul.

  11. L.... A....

    LoL @ Alanis using a Brooklyn accent.

  12. T.... ....

    I am only really familiar with her material post JLP. This is my first time hearing her pop stuff, this is absolutely hilarious xD

  13. s.... ....

    Aahhahaahah! WTF?? That's ponte Sant angelo in Rome where I live!!!

  14. L.... P....

    This is good, but going grunge was a very good decision for her.

  15. J.... M....

    Whoa! I actually never knew Alanis put out anything before 'Jagged Little Pill', this certainly is different to her more familiar pop-rock/post-grunge sound!

  16. L.... ....

    I like her hair/clothes way better here than in the '91 videos.

  17. n.... ....

    now I know why I love this song. it reminds me of Madonna's "bye bye baby" listen to it and youll see its VERY similar.

  18. n.... ....

    holy shit. this is actually catchy. good production. I never knew alanis could move like that

  19. H.... ....

    Wow, I knew she was different in the early days but I wasn't expecting this.

  20. B.... ....

    They should make a new version showing her watching the video NOW.

  21. r.... ....

    I think this is what she wanted to do at the time, based on interviews I've watched. Like many artists, she simply evolved (into a very different style and mode of expression, in her case!). If you watch the 'Too Hot' documentary from around this time, she was talking about how even then she didn't like to look back at clips from You Can't Do That on Television. Many performers seem to move on pretty quickly and not want to be associated with their past.

  22. a.... ....

    This is also what SHE wanted to do at that time, and btw she wanted to include some songs from that era in one of her new compilations, but was talked out wrom it by the people who wanted her to do what "SHE" wanted :D

  23. R.... G....

    When she was a Canadian Paula Abdul.

  24. A.... J....

    Ummm This is how people looked in the early 90's... lol I guess if you didn't live it, it all looks the same. It's kind of how the 70's bleed in to the 80's. The 80's weren't really what we consider the 80's till about '83 or '84. Same goes for the 90's. Decade styles don't end when the decade ends.

  25. v.... l....

    This song is pretty damn cool!

  26. T.... B....

    i love alanis! i have most of her earlier songs as well as her later songs. this is one of my favorites.

  27. R.... ....

    Love this song, audio/video quality of the video is perfect. :D

  28. H.... D....

    Nostalgia....I had a huge crush on Alanis during the 'Now Is The Time' era....

    LOL MuchMusic rocked back then....Hostess Sneak Previews. Loved that show and The Power 30 & Rap City....Damn now MuchMusic is reduced to crap ass teen show reruns....

  29. j.... ....

    horrible new york accents...lol

  30. M.... M....

    @jeremyud it sounds pretty early 90s to me.

  31. m.... ....

    The 80's didn't arrive in Canada until 1993.

  32. g.... ....

    who knew she smoked?

  33. E.... S....

    I love Alanis Morissette...great song but I am glad she moved away from this and did music that SHE wanted to do

  34. b.... ....

    i prefer the angst..

  35. p.... ....

    Dude she did what she had to do and still did it damn good!!

  36. E.... S....

    here alanis puts me to mind more of Tiffany

  37. j.... ....

    The 80's didn't come to Canada til the 90's.

  38. p.... ....

    madonna style?

  39. E.... S....

    I must admit....in the movie she is watching I love the Bette Davis like feel they put to it

  40. E.... S....

    pretty close....listen to her song Real World from this album....you hear the REAL Alanis starting to emerge

  41. E.... S....

    this video is a trip....but I like it

  42. D.... ....

    Alanis is damaged goods with a perfect voice.

  43. L.... ....

    this is nostalgic.. isn't this around the time she started to lose prominence in Canadian pop music scene?

  44. C.... ....

    i still think she looks the same only thing thats changed is her hair

  45. P.... O....

    hahahhaha lovely :D

  46. h.... ....

    LOL love the perfume ad right smack dab in the middle of the song! How adorable is Alanis in this?!

  47. F.... G....

    i can see pre-echoes of You Oughta Know video in this, with all the crazy hair flailing and the masculine suit

  48. h.... ....

    "Sucka" lol i love this vid and all of her pre JLP vids and albums... scratch that... i just plain love alanis.

  49. J.... ....

    lmao at "let's get the money and get out of he-uh"

  50. O.... ....

    Hahaha! Sounds like a Madonna-song from the 80`s. :D

  51. E.... S....

    that was too funny..........basically Alanis is doin a Bette Davis like role....I would have never put that in my head til I seen it just now

  52. g.... ....

    Thats Tarzan DAN I meant of course.

  53. g.... ....

    YES! I remember watching this on Hit list with Tarzan Day!!! :)
