you oughta know - alanis morissette

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 speaks enloquently?
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...
and every time you speak her name,
does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you die?
...until you die, 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 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 on 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...
and every time you speak her name,
does she know how you told me you'd hold me until you die?
...until you die, 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 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?
