You Owe Me Nothing In Return

Alanis Morissette

1. I'll give you countless amounts of outright acceptance if you want it
   I will give you encouragement to choose the path that you want if you
   need it
   You can speak of anger and doubts your fears and freak outs and I'll
   hold it
   you can share you so-called shame-filled accounts of times in your
   life and I wont judge it and there are no strings attached

R: You owe me nothing for giving the love that I give
   you owe me nothing for caring the way that I have
   I give you thanks for receiving it's my privilege
   and you owe me nothing in return

2. You can ask for space for yourself and only yourself and I'll grant it   
   you can ask for freedom as well or time to travel and you'll have it       
   you can ask to live by yourself or love someone else and I'll support it   
   you can ask for anything you want anthing at all and I'll understand it
   and there are no strings attached to it

R: You owe me nothing...

*: I bet you're wondering when the next payback shoe will eventually drop
   I bet you're wondering when my conditionals police will force you to
   cough up
   I bet you're wondering how far you have now danced your way back into debt
   this is the only kind of love as I understand it that there really is

3. You can express your deepest of truths even if it means I'll lose 
   you and I'll hear it
   you can fall into the abyss on your way to bliss I'll empathize with
   you can say that you have to skip town to chase your passion and 
   I'll hear it
   you can even hit rock bottom have a midlife crisis and I'll hold it
   and there are no strings attached to it

R: You owe me nothing... (2x)
