Morissette, Alanis - Receive Lyrics






I wake up and first things first
I’m of service
I make sure your needs are met, as a selfless
I give hard and serve hard and now I, I need a break
I give big, I give all and now it’s time to regenerate

[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I move on through offerings often one-sided
Being this low on list of worth: over-extended

I give hard, provide hard and now I need some relief
I look out, I proffer, and now I need some respite indeed

[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

My habit to love you first and me: remainders
Favoring you is so knee-jerk, leaves me a stranger
I give hard, impart hard and now I need to retreat
I give out, dedicate and now I need to acknowledge me

[Chorus:]
Today’s all about me, all about cup filling
Today’s all about me learning how, how to receive
How to receive,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
How to receive

    Alanis Morissette you are a shining angel. You were with me then, when everythig was dark and i saw no way out . Your voice comes from another dimension: the dimension of eternity. My eternity is filled with you. Thank you my brightest star.

    This is essentially the life lesson I've been receiving this year as a whole. Learning how to receive and accepting it's okay to do for yourself sometimes, or all the fucking time, because most people broadly are caught up with themselves.

  7. S.... P....

    She is so underrated and unappreciated!!

  8. J.... S....

    Alanis é sobre fazer mágica com as palavras, que encanto!

  9. F.... S....

    Lovely song, beautiful text, thanks for taking the time to publish it!

  10. A.... M....

    foda!!!

  11. F.... ....

    she's a great artist

  12. E.... O....

    Essa música é perfeita

  13. T.... S....

    Receive.... Não para de tocar no meu celular.... Amo muito!

  14. C.... M....

    best song on the album hands down, so glad its become a single, and a great one =]

  15. J.... ....

    exactly how feel.

  16. U.... A....

    Alanis rulles ;)

  17. N.... D....

    Maravilhosa, música!

  18. w.... ....

    Bom demais! :)

  19. s.... s....

    I can relate to this song, I'm always giving my all to people like my friends and family and relationships, often the favor isn't returned. And whenever someone does try to offer me some kindness I feel like I don't deserve it, that I'm not worthy, or good enough to be treated good. I need to learn how to receive instead of always just giving.

  20. T.... ....

    Alanis is very cerebral. When I listen to her I feel the same way- because she puts into words and music what so few artists can do. She relates to people on such a basic level. I love, love this song too.

  21. y.... ....

    music has nothing to do with sexuality. lets break down these gender stereotypes shall we?

  22. G.... M....

    Absolutely dig this CD.Alanis....I bow down in gratitude for your lyrical and melodical talent and unique voice. You are my queen of rock...Screw all the negatives on here, she is the bomb diggity bitches...

  23. k.... ....

    This is gay when i listen to SkipKnot and this stuff and i like this one? ;o

  24. y.... ....

    This song is sooo boring compared to some of the other tracks on the album (Woman Down, Numb,Celebrity.) Such a shame this is a single.

  25. p.... t....

    sur ce titre, elle ne m'a pas donné grand chose...

  26. n.... q....

    muiito massa....alguém põe a traduçao ai porfavor...

  27. E.... A....

    Getting up early to make an airport run was so worth it because I heard this life changing song on the radio. It grabbed me from the very first line and slowly squeezed my insides as it played on. I love Taylor Swift's music - but its always more of a been there done that situation. Alanis Morissette is MY age, a wife and new mother. I have never had a song speak to me so clearly before. It was both terrifying and uplifting.

  28. d.... ....

    Alanis you're always wonderful!

  29. S.... A....

    video please

  30. c.... ....

  35. J.... S....

    I can listen to this song over and over again.

  36. C.... P....

    Receive is very very very Alanis!

  37. L.... C....

    this song is actually very good... and the message makes a lot of sense.... if you want to give whatever it is, first learn to be the empty cup

  38. D.... A....

    I didn't get a nice spot at her to film it show but this friend did. Check his youtube channel livyak.

  39. G.... T....

    RECEIVE is fantastic!

  40. D.... A....

    I'm going to her concert this monday in São Paulo, Brazil. I'm excited.

  41. D.... A....
