You Oughtta Know Songtext
von Alanis Morissette

Thank you
I want you to 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 theatre?
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 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?

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

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
Thank you
