| You Oughta Know |
Performed By: Alanis Morissette

Album rating: 4
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
And I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me, is she as preverted as me
Would she go down on you in a theater?
Does she speak eloquently, and would she have your baby
I'm sure she would 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 everytime 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 bare 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 on the face how quickly I was replaced
Are you thinking of me when you fuck her?
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... oh, 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 bare that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
