Alanis Morissette - Not The Doctor

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
the 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
you 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 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'm not the doctor

I don't want to be
the sweeper of
the eggshells that
you walk upon
I don't want to be
your other half
I believe that 1 and 1 make 2
I don't want to be you
you 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 you 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 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'm 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 its 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 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'm not the doctor
