Alanis Morissette 
You Oughta Know 
  
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 
 
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 
But 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 going to fade as soon 
As you close your eyes, and you know it 
And everytime I scratch my nails 
Down someone else's back, I hope you feel it 
Well, can you feel it? 
 
Well, 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 
 
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
