don't forget a small moonbeam, fold it lightly with a dream

a thousand years ago when i was in the first flush of girlie love, i copied all of the lyrics to alanis morrisette's song "head over feet" into a card to who i believed was my true love. this morning, that song came on during my drive to work. in honour, here are the top ten cringe-worthy lines from that song:
1. I had no choice but to hear you
2. You treat me like I'm a princess / I'm not used to liking that
3. You've already won me over in spite of me / and don't be alarmed if I fall head over feet
4. Don't be surprised if I love you for all that you are / I couldn't help it / It's all your fault
5. Your love is thick and it swallowed me whole
6. You're so much braver than I gave you credit for / that's not lip service
7. You are the bearer of unconditional things
8. You held your breath and the door for me
9. I've never felt this healthy before
10. I've never wanted something rational / I am aware now
