You Oughta Know Lyrics

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, till 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

 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 on 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

 

 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
