Interesting Song

I'm not threatened, by every pair of legs you watch go by
I don't cringe when you stare at women, it's just a thing called guy
I don't notice your side ways glances or where your loyalty lies
I'm secure and out of me, it's hard to get a rise

I'm not jealous
I don't get moved by much
I'm not enraged
Not insecure as such
Not going insane
Rational stays in touch
Doth I protest too much?

I'm not tortured by how oft your busy, Cause I've got things to do
I'm not disappointed about how you don't miss you me, cause I don't need you to

I'm not needy
I don't get clingy much
I'm not scared
I'm not afraid as such
I'm not dependent
Rock solid, stays in touch
And Doth I protest too much?

So much energy to prove to you
Who I can't possibly be
So much energy to prove to you
I'm not who you hate for me to be

I'm not saddened
And I don't miss you
Cause I have moved on too
I'm not concerned about your new lover
Cause I have a new lover too

I'm not depressed
I don't get down that much
I'm not despondent
I am not dark as such
I'm never sad
Keep Chin Up, Stays in touch
And Doth I protest too much?

I'm not jealous
I don't get moved by much
I'm not enraged
Not insecure as such
Not going insane
Rational stays in touch
And Doth I protest too much?

My only commentary is this: I actually AM more rational than most other women, because I can tell when I'm being irrational and if I can TALK ABOUT HOW I FEEL, then the irrationality subsides.

I just remember other relationships where the above lyrics applied to me. I was using all my energy to pretend that it didn't bother me when the other person was obviously lying about "studying" just to get some time away from me. Now, a rational approach may have started a fight, but I didn't want to come off as "needy" or "suspicious", so I downplayed my own emotions and tried to be what I thought guys wanted.

Just wait until you find the RIGHT guy, ladies. There are a very few out there who care about you as much as you care about them, and they will understand when you're a little irrational, and they'll help you get back to a nice rational centered place instead of teasing you mercilessly and threatening to break up with you because of your spurts of hormone-induced rationality.

Fertility means there will be times when women are less rational... a wise man would never suggest that a woman should be less "hormonal" or anything of the like.

Oh, Alanis, how you say the things I was never able to say out loud until now.
