  • What's the matter, Mary Jane? You had a hard day
    As you place the don't disturb sign on the door
    You lost your place in line again, what a pity
    You never seem to want to dance anymore

    It's a long way down
    On this roller coaster
    The last chance streetcar
    Went off the track
    And you're on it

    I hear you're counting sheep again, Mary Jane
    What's the point of trying to dream anymore
    I hear you're losing weight again, Mary Jane
    Do you ever wonder who you're losing it for

    Well it's full speed, baby
    In the wrong direction
    There's a few more bruises
    If that's the way
    You insist on heading

    Please be honest, Mary Jane
    Are you happy
    Please don't censor your tears

    You're the sweet crusader
    And you're on your way
    You're the last great innocent
    And that's why I love you

    So take this moment, Mary Jane, and be selfish
    Worry not about the cars that go by
    'Cause all that matters, Mary Jane, is your freedom
    So keep warm my dear, keep dry

    Tell me
    Tell me
    What's the matter, Mary Jane?
    Tell me
    Tell me
    Please be honest, Mary Jane
    Tell me Writer/s: Alanis Nadine Morissette, Glen Ballard
