You Oughta Know
(Alanis Morissette)

I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best
for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theater
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make
a really excellent mother

'cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you
to be open wide no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
you'd hold me
Until you died
'til you died
But you're still alive

Chorus
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You you you oughta know

You seem very well things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well I thought
you should know
Did you forget about me mr duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face
how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when
you fuck her

'cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you
To be open wide no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
you'd hold me until you died
'til you died
But you're sill alive

Chorus
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You you you oughta know

'cause the joke that you laid in the bed
that was me
And I'm not gonna fade
As soon as you close your eyes
and you know it
And every time
I scratch my nails
down someone else's back
I hope you feel it
well can you feel it

Chorus
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You you you oughta know...
