“Your House” is a secret track on Alanis Morrissette’s Decade-defining LP Jagged Little Pill. Done completely a cappella, the song would be performed at concerts with the band leaving the stage, leaving Morrissette alone. She recalls these performances, saying:
Those were often my favorite moments...
[Verse 1]
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
[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?
Ooh
[Verse 2]
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 CDs
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long, you might be home soon
I 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?
Oh
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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
