You Oughta Know Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

I want you to know, that I am 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 

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 

And 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 still alive 

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? 

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
