"You Oughta Know"
Jagged Little Pill

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
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 maek 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 elses'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

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
