Lyrics - You Oughta Know

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 preverted 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 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

	CHORUS:
	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 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

	CHORUS

	'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?

	CHORUS
