So Unsexy

  • Oh, these little rejections, how they add up quickly
    One small sideways look and I feel so ungood and
    Somewhere along the way, I think I gave you the power to make
    Me feel the way I thought only my father could and

    Oh, these little rejections, how they seem so real to me
    One forgotten birthday, I'm all but cooked and
    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 and
    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 I 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 and
    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 Writer/s: Alanis Morissette
