You Oughta Know Lyrics

Music and lyrics by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard 

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 your 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 but 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 

Repeat Chorus 

'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
