So Unsexy

artist: alanis morissette

album: under rug swept

title: so unsexy



oh these little rejections how they add up quickly

one small sideways look and i feel so ungood

somewhere along the way i think i gave you the power to make

me feel the way i thought only my father could



oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me

one forgotten birthday i'm all but cooked

how these little abandonments seem to sting so easily

i'm 13 again am i 13 for good?



i can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful

so unloved for someone so fine

i can feel so boring for someone so interesting

so ignorant for someone of sound mind



oh these little protections how they fail to serve me

one forgotten phone call and i'm deflated

oh these little defenses how they fail to comfort me

your hand pulling away and i'm devastated



i can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful

so unloved for someone so fine

i can feel so boring for someone so interesting

so ignorant for someone of sound mind



when will you stop leaving baby?

when will i stop deserting baby?

when will i start staying with myself?



oh these little projections how they keep springing from me

i jump my ship as i take it personally

oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly

the moment i decide not to abandon me



i can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful

so unloved for someone so fine

i can feel so boring for someone so interesting

so ignorant for someone of sound mind

i can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful

so unloved for someone so fine

i can feel so boring for someone so interesting

so ignorant for someone of sound mind
