Not the Doctor by Original Broadway Cast of Jagged Little Pill Lyrics

[MARY JANE]
I don’t wanna be the filler if the void is solely yours
And I don’t wanna share the secrets that we’ve hidden well in our bottom drawer
And I don’t wanna be the bandage if the wound is not mine
Show me the back door

[STEVE]
I don’t wanna be resented when I’m just trying to provide for you
And I don’t wanna be berated for simply doing my best to reach you
I don’t wanna be controlling I just want our life to be normal again
What do you take me

[BOTH]
What do you take me for
Visiting hours are nine to five

[STEVE]
And if I show up at ten past six well I
I guarantee that there will be no way she lets me in at all

[BOTH]
Mind the awkward silence with our backs toward each other
You see it’s too much to ask for
And I am not the doctor
[CLAIRE, spoken]
Hello, I am the doctor, but you can call me Claire. Are you ready to open your hearts?

[BOTH]
No
I’m not the— urgh
