Morissette, Alanis - Your House Lyrics






I went to your house
Walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here, without permission
I shouldn't be here

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon

I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
I went through your drawers
And found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CD's
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon

I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said "Hello love, I love you so love, meet me at midnight"
And no, it wasn't my writing
I'd better go soon
It wasn't my writing

So forgive me love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me love
If I cry all afternoon

Morissette, Alanis Your House Comments
  1. f.... ....

    I’ve had that CD for as long as I can remember but I haven’t heard this song before.

  2. M.... ....

    Taking the best songs of this album off youtube BIG MISTAKE - I NOW HATE IT. IM EMBARRASSED I JUST PLAYED IT. ENJOY YOUR ''MILLIONS'' ALANIS.

  3. A.... J....

    Mind blowing album

  4. c.... ....

    Quando nei cd aspettavi le tracce fantasma ... bei tempi

  5. L.... ....

    25 years later and still ear candy 🥰

  6. I.... A....

    Everybreath you take..... Alanis' version

  7. L.... L....

    I just woke up with this in my head :') no idea why. I have not heard in years and years. I bought this album with my allowance $$ when I was 12 & remember finding this song hidden on the cassette for the first time was like wtf Alanis this is so creepy 😂

  8. D.... D....

    Dec 15th 2019 ..Like 👍

  9. t.... p....

    Girl in 2019 you will be jailed if you do this 🤘
    -vlogger

  10. H.... F....

    Hold up! Was there a hidden song???? WHAT! I never knew! OMG!

  11. F.... G....

    Imagine this being sung by a middle aged bald guy in a mono tone

  12. N.... R....

    It's not hidden. It's on the back of the CD. You FUCKING dumb assholes!!!

  13. G.... ....

    There's a particular brilliance to making this a hidden track on this album. Odds are that if you've just let the CD play to get to this point, it means that this is a song for the mood you're probably in by the end of the album, if you weren't listening to the album for that very reason to begin with.

  14. C.... M....

    the "hidden" track

  15. J.... M....

    Truly haunting and beautiful.

  16. N.... P....

    When i heard this it sounded so beautiful. Later it became one of the songs i always used to sing too. Practising my vocal chords. I was getting good at it but since i stopped i no longer can sing as hard as she does.

  17. C.... S....

    💋♥️💋♥️💋

  18. J.... R....

    we are of a time. we love our things that make us. its been a long time i will love this.

  19. D.... H....

    Brilliant x

  20. c.... ....

    I saw her perform this live back in 2011, and it was even better live. So good. Tears were flowing down.

  21. A.... R....

    Fantastic song, check out Hybrid's mix... it's off the scale.

  22. H.... D....

    I bought this cd when it 1st came out. I played it from beginning to the end. Heard this song and knew it was a secret song. I love every song on this cd.

  23. C.... R....

    Gives me chills every time.

  24. R.... B....

    Hits the heart.

  25. S.... l....

    Orange is the new black could have used this song. I’ve loved this secret since the cd came out soo to late losers!

  26. J.... ....

    I love this one is my fovorite

  27. B.... ....

    just amazing, i remember listening to this in HS lol, i havent thought about this album in years, but damn...this is so good

  28. M.... G....

    July 2019 and this song still gives me chills. My favorite from this album and i almost missed it when i played the cds way back 1996.. uuùgh

  29. B.... T....

    this song is so haunting being vocals only..... it's not the same with acoustic guitar.... it doesn't have the same effect.... vocals only version is almost impossible not to get emotional while listening.

  30. A.... M....

    90s. Madonna, Janet and Whitney and even Hanson have these types of hidden songs after 3 or so minutes the last track ends

  31. K.... H....

    Morello's theme song
    This is crippling

  32. R.... F....

    I cry every time I listen to this.... Heartbreak is the worse feeling EVER!
    This is crippling
    This is crippling

  33. �.... ....

    my cousins used to play this and the other songs on the album Jagged little Pill..cassette tape..

  34. j.... z....

    I went to your house
    Walked up the stairs
    Opened the door without ringing the bell
    Walked down the hall
    Into your room where I could smell you
    And I shouldn't be here
    Without permission
    Shouldn't be here
    [Chorus]
    Would you forgive me love if I danced in your shower
    Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed
    Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon?
    I took off my clothes
    Put on your robe
    Went through your drawers
    And I found your cologne
    Went down to the den
    Found your cd's
    And I played your Joni
    And I shouldn't stay long
    You might be home soon
    Shouldn't stay long
    [Chorus]
    Would you forgive me love if I danced in your shower
    Would you forgive me love if I laid in your bed
    Would you forgive me love if I stay all afternoon?
    I burned your incense
    I ran a bath
    I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
    It said:
    'Hello, love.
    I love you so, love.
    Meet me at midnight.'
    And no, it wasn't my writing
    I'd better go soon
    It wasn't my writing
    So forgive me love If I cry in your shower
    So forgive me love for the salt in your bed
    So forgive me love If I cry all afternoon

  35. P.... ....

    Does this scare the ever loving fuck out of anyone else?

  36. G.... B....

    Breaks my heart every time.

  37. R.... F....

    Many thanks

  38. P.... I....

    I Only wish I could sing this good! 😗 Love Alanis & I love this track! I remember when I 1st heard it, what I was doing, where I was doing it & who I was doing it with! Priceless memories, those are! I only wish she was here still today, she'd be singing it with me! I miss my Mom so much! We used to listen to this whole CD together! 😍😇 Rock On Alanis! 🤘⚜

  39. T.... ....

    This is probably the most beautiful song on the entire album... and it's a bonus track! Glad she went the acapella route with this. It might not have had the same impact had there been music. Haunting. Incredible.

    T.... ....

    You're right. She's so alone in this track.

  40. J.... a....

    This is one of the greatest songs ever recorded. It also shows how fundamentally crazy this woman is.

  41. b.... ....

    Chills!!! Loooooooove ...this part

  42. M.... S....

    Recorded during the instrumentalist strike of '95.

  43. M.... C....

    This song is brilliant. What a voice and those lyrics. I listen to it a now and then, re-experiencing the intense pain of heartbreak. Moves me to tears. I love her.

  44. B.... W....

    I’ve loved this song and CD since 12

  45. V.... M....

    2019 and this song is still amazing ✌️

  46. m.... ....

    loca qla! XD

  47. K.... ....

    Who else could project such depth of emotion a capella?

  48. m.... m....

    😍😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

  49. e.... 7....

    What is IRONIC about this song for me is it basically tells the story of almost every girlfriend I have ever had. I discovered they were cheating on me in a way very similar to the lyric. What's even crazier is my stupid codependent ass always tried to work it out asking to be forgiven for finding out and pushing them into it. WOW!!!! I can stop seeing one of my 4 counselors now......wait still have mommy issues.

  50. C.... P....

    this song is so true of myself and my ex wife...….she too went into my home as I was not there and she too found a note to myself from another woman...……….As this song plays I can feel the mixed and painful emotions that my ex wife had endured...…….hence why she is my ex wife and why I deny to address the feelings of guilt

  51. B.... L....

    2018 ? So many memories ❤️

  52. t.... l....

    still love this song!!!! scared the shit out of me the first time I heart it I was in the shower with the cd playing on my radio and her voice came out of no where lol lol

  53. T.... T....

    Too much catholic right

  54. L.... E....

    This song gives me chills every time I hear it. BADASS!!

  55. r.... y....

    Reminds me of being a kid. Love it

  56. G.... B....

    REPRESENTING ALL WOMEN FOR ALL WOMEN. PROUD OF ALANIS FOR STANDING FOR US AND REPRESENTING US. LOVE YOU ALANIS <3

  57. d.... o....

    Cut it out

  58. C.... B....

    This is a song about violating someone's personal space. It's a painful experience.

  59. C.... ....

    Most heartwarming tale of stalking ever told.

  60. a.... ....

    I remember how exciting it was to find this hidden track, especially during pre internet days. It became my favorite track on JLP

  61. E.... M....

    I wannnnnttttt

  62. L.... G....

    one of my favs

  63. R.... K....

    Pretty dope still in 2018

  64. N.... B....

    Love this song so much 😭😭

  65. E.... M....

    Funny how people think they can fool me .. . Annnndddd it never works... So you know

  66. R.... S....

    I had this CD for like ever when I was a teenager. One day I had it playing while cleaning my room and it came on. I remember dropping to my knees like, what? This has been here the whole time??? Called my best friend and told her. She had no idea either. Hands down my All Time Favorite. Beautifully painful song.

  67. B.... N....

    Amazing

  68. W.... W....

    Amazing!

  69. N.... B....

    I cry every time I listen to this.... Heartbreak is the worse feeling EVER!

    N.... B....

    This song isn't about heartbreak. She wrote this song while staying at a friend's house and snooping through his stuff lol true story.

    N.... B....

    Awee...

  70. S.... k....

    So how many people didn't actually know this song was at the end of the album the first time they heard it? *raises hand* I had listened to the whole album before, but then one time I just left it playing....man, when she started singing this, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up! I always thought the POV sounds almost as if she's not just a stalker ex, but like she's actually passed on as well....like a spirit, revisiting her former lover, who has, of course, moved on since her tragic death....*sniffle*

    S.... k....

    Holy shit that makes sense

    S.... k....

    I like this perspective

    S.... k....

    @Kerryn Brown He is not cheating on her. She was her ex and he is dating another girl.

    S.... k....

    Bruno Medeiros I disagree. ‘I shouldn’t be here, without permission’ suggests they’re still together.
    Anyway: doesn’t matter because with art-there is no right or wrong. Just different perspectives.

    S.... k....

    @Kerryn Brown So we disagree and that's ok. As you said: there's no right or wrong. :)

  71. B.... L....

    Stalk much? lol

  72. E.... G....

    HIDDEN TRACK GIGGAWATT?!

  73. M.... L....

    i feel so much

  74. c.... p....

    the secret track

  75. A.... M....

    I would listen to this song on repeat...loved that my CD had this hidden track ❤

  76. R.... E....

    Anyone notice the baby cry?

  77. k.... ....

    WHOA IT REALLY IS MORELLO...

  78. R.... 4....

    much better version than the 20years edition...

  79. W.... S....

    Masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

  80. A.... M....

    This shit gets me every time.

    A.... M....

  81. p.... h....

    This is crippling

    p.... h....

    music <3

  82. M.... J....

    me and this girl I used to fool around with n both had been thru mad stuff n we used to get stoned on resin we were 15-17 I can remember we'd put this on n smooch or talk dead deeply about beautiful horrible personal things... like nearly 18 years ago plus but this album is just sitting in this seafront carpark alone staring out to Wales crying together laughing together n getting high together in my first car. I literally can pin this album to that place time person n emotions n putting it on is like wham back with our head on each other's laps or cuddling two broken ppl healing each other. weird. like this n nivarna unplugged n stone roses. tapes Heh. rach u got pregnant n moved away but I still have real solid memories. girls can be the bestest friends when ur growing up. u can both say stuff u wouldn't say to peers of same age n sex. heh. we did end up having a lot of sex this album n few others was this weird emotional bond we shared with all the knowledge of each other's wonkiness...

    M.... J....

    you never forget people like that. Most people are never lucky enough to find someone they can bond to like that at the perfect time in each other's lives. i personally believe it's a bond deeper than love. i am sure she thinks of you also.

  83. S.... A....

    ahh have alanis as my middle name is a gift

  84. G.... k....

    reminds me of Morello from orange is the new black

    G.... k....

    you are so right

  85. L.... v....

    love it so much

  86. a.... s....

    never forgot this song

  87. S.... F....

    This song would be perfect for Lorna from "Orange Is the New Black"

  88. s.... n....

    this was jodi aries jam.

  89. c.... y....

    my all time favorite song of hers... I wish I could sing with Alanis someday.. everyone says I have her type of voice...♡♡♡♡♡

    C.... D....

    +Clarence Dass All of a sudden, I'm seventeen or eighteen again, standing in my room in front of my dresser or sitting on my bed with my jaw hanging down because there was a surprise track on the CD...and it turned out to be one awesome song!

  94. A.... A....

    One of the most moving songs ever

    A.... A....

    @Adrian Pritchard Also here in America we like thick. Ass and tits small waist you can keep the chicken legs for yourself. America home of the thick Marilyn Monroe

    A.... A....

    Very moving song for sure!

    Gotta love how this @Adrian Pritchard dude is choosing to troll/be a dink in the comments of a beautiful, moving Alanis song. Class act for sure.

    Also, can I add...I fucking LOVE that @sneezepal broke out 'mook' here! I spat out my water laughing my butt off! It's been way too long since I've heard anyone say that. High fives up top for that one!!!!!!!

    A.... A....

    Ali Avi not what he meant by thick, just saying.

    A.... A....

    Ali Avi omg you’re fabulous! Anyone who starts a response with “Bless your heart”, just tickles mine to death! Never lose that! 😊

  95. j.... ....

    takes me back to my high school days..... sitting outside with a group of girls singing this song at the top of our lungs.....

  96. L.... G....

    So many times I played this track, and it is still one of my favorites off the Album.

  97. R.... B....

    uninvited was released the day my mother died...played the fuck out of it for nearly a year...
