Narcissus Lyrics - Under Rug Swept - Alanis Morissette

Dear momma's boy I know you've had your butt licked by your mother 

I know you've enjoyed all that attention from her 

And every woman graced with your presence after 

Dear narcissus boy I know you've never really apologized for anything 

I know you've never really taken responsibility 

I know you've never really listened to a woman 

Dear me-show boy I know you're not really into conflict resolution 

Or seeing both sides of every equation 

Or having an uninterrupted conversation 

And any talk of healthiness 

And any talk of connectedness 

And any talk of resolving this 

Leaves you running for the door 

(why why do I try to love you 

Try to love you when you really don't want me 

To) 

Dear egotist boy you've never really had to suffer any consequence 

You've never stayed with anyone longer than ten minutes 

You'd never understand anyone showing resistance 

Dear popular boy I know you're used to getting everything so easily 

A stranger to the concept of reciprocity 

People honor boys like you in this society 

And any talk of selflessness 

And any talk of working at this 

And any talk of being of service 

Leaves you running for the door 

(why why do I try to help you try to help you 

When you really don't want me to) 

You go back to the women who will dance the dance 

You go back to your friends who will lick your ass 

You go back to ignoring all the rest of us 

You go back to the center of your universe 

Dear self centered boy I don't know why I still feel affected by you 

I've never lasted very long with someone like you 

I never did although I have to admit I wanted to 

Dear magnetic boy you've never been with anyone who doesn't take your shit 

You've never been with anyone who's dared to call you on it 

I wonder how you'd be if someone were to call you on it 

And any talk of willingness 

And any talk of both feet in 

And any talk of commitment 

Leaves you running for the door 

(why why do I try to change you try to 

Try to change you when you really don't 

Want me to) 

You go back to the women who will dance the dance 

You go back to your friends who will lick your ass 

You go back to being so oblivious 

You go back to the center of the universe
