"Not The Doctor"
Jagged Little Pill
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 nine to five
and if I show up at ten past six
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 eggshells that you walk upon
And I don't want to be your other half
I believe that one and one make two
I don't want to be your food or the light
from the fridge on your face a 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

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
Oh
Iam not the…
Um
I don't want to live on someday
when my motto is last week
And I don't want to be responsible for your fractured heart and its wounded beat
And, 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 nine to five
and if I show up at ten past six
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
Ooh
Am not the…
Ah
