The Time of Your Life Lyrics

Music and Lyrics by Alanis, Leslie Howe, & Serge Cote 

Standing there on a road that leads to anywhere 
Like a child left in the wilderness, standing there penniless 
Wanting to be the best 

Here's a place where life runs at a different pace 
Where love is just convenient, none are obedient 
And we are subservient 

Look at me, I'm a girl that some may preconceive 
Why do they try and generalize, why are they antagonizing me 
But something I can't control that... 

Chorus: 
I WANTCHA 
You know I'll never stop 'til I've GOTCHA 
You'll never be quite the same when I ROCK YA 
I'm not the kind of girl that you thought I was 
You'll have a good time 'cause I WANTCHA 
I'm breaking down the walls 'till I have you, feel you 
Show you the time of your life 

Here we are and I wonder how we've come this far 
In a world that does not recognize women are victimized 
What does that symbolize 

Why do I want the things I usually criticize 
It may be self destructiveness, or maybe it's emptiness inside 
But something I can't control that... 

Repeat Chorus 

You'll have a good time... 
It's a lonely road, and no one knows the way that I feel 
I'm not giving up now... I'll never try to justify 
They'll never understand, you'll be a happy man 
You'll have the time of your life 

It's something, it's something, it's something that I can't control 
The time of your life... 

(repeat)
