Not The Doctor Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

I don't want to be the filler if the void is solely yours 

I don't want to be your glass of single malt whiskey 

Hidden in the bottom drawer 

I don't want to be a bandage if the wound is not mine 

Lend me some fresh air 

I don't want to be adored for what I merely represent to you 

I don't want to be your babysitter 

You're a very big boy now 

I don't want to be your mother 

I didn't carry you in my womb for nine months 

Show me the back door 

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 

Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh 

Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom 

You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor 

I don't want to be the sweeper of the egg shells that you walk upon 

And I don't want to be your other half, I believe that 1 and 1 make 2 

I don't want to be your food or the light from the fridge on your face 

At midnight, hey 

What are you hungry for 

I don't want to be the glue that holds your pieces together 

I don't want to be your idol 

See this pedestal is high and I'm afraid of heights 

I don't want to be lived through 

A vicarious occasion 

Please open the window 

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 

Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh 

Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom 

You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor 

I don't want to live on someday when my motto is last week 

I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart 

And it's wounded beat 

I don't want to be a substitute for the smoke you've been inhaling 

What do you thank me 

What do you thank me for 

Visiting hours are 9 to 5 and if I show up at 10 past 6 

Well I already know that you'd find some way to sneak me in and oh 

Mind the empty bottle with the holes along the bottom 

You see it's too much to ask for and I am not the doctor
