Cover art for That I Would Be Good lyrics by Alanis Morissette

This song emanates the emotions from a person who has been in love with someone but that person has conditions regarding his love for her. She is in pain because she longs for someone to return her love. She has the best intentions -i.e. she will do her best to keep in shape, act mature, be responible, however she knows she will have moments of temporarly insanity in her life. She craves security in knowing that her beloved won't run for the hills and reject her if she gets sick and needs to rely on him to help her. If she gains weight, he'll still be proud to be by her side, even workout with her if that will help her. She seeks positive support from him and she, in return will nurture his temporary weaknesses and love him more for it. We all fear rejection and crave security.
