YOU OUGHT TO KNOW BY ALANIS MORISSETTE

LYRICS

I want you to know, that I am 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 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 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 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?
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

  1. You oughta know
    how you destroyed
    the love we had
    null and void

    how could you deceive me?
    Cheat and bereave me
    you destroyed us, made a mess
    Felt she was more, I was less

    How dare you treat me
    as if I don’t exist
    You ride a thin line
    passed me up on your list

    I thought you should know
    how I really feel
    You destroyed us
    my love you killed

    Go now you are a villain
    playing in the weeds
    You are part of
    The devils seed

  2. Introspective
    Quiet
    Thinking about you & me
    How it was
    Yet never again will be
    & I wish you love
    I wish you both well
    It’s obvious to see
    She has u under her spell
    I hope she makes you happy
    Gives you what you crave
    & I’ll just walk away
    Pretending to be brave

  3. Remember halcyon days
    When u were mine
    I believed our love
    Was of a divine design
    The kitschy way
    Our hearts combined
    Magic in the air
    As stars aligned
    Does the world spin
    Like a gaudy carousel
    When u kiss her lips
    Pray do tell
    Does ur heart beat fast
    Is ur new love
    meant 2 last?

  4. From street corners
    to caves turned into bars
    I’ve sang this song
    I’ve screamed and jumped
    turned my pain into a lyrical landslide.
    Remembering the lives and the lies
    the mess left when people play
    with your soul tides.
    Burn the bridges and gateways
    those slaps in the face
    when you quickly replaced
    used to say I’d be your bride
    now the cross I used to wear
    dangles across her breasts
    when she rides.

    Thrown in your face it was time for a goodbye
    but I can’t stop thinking about the way you tried
    to make me hide, told me you’d hold me until u died
    now you deny
    u joke in the bed where we used to love with pride
    it’s not fair to deny me, to lie on me
    It’s ok though cause I’ve got the stage and I rise. – Amberdawn

  5. I was ur 1st love
    I was ur only love
    Until I wasnt
    You replaced me
    With a poor facsimile
    But lets be honest
    She’ll never really be me
    I’ll sweetly smile
    In all the right places
    Nod my head
    I hide my sad faces
    But u oughtta know
    She cant ever be me
    Just a poor wretched facsimile

  6. I pick up sea shells
    my heart swells
    you left me to whimper
    in this pervasive scent
    of hollowed promises
    memorized in your goodbye..

    Comforted in her embrace
    delight away your disgrace
    i hope she loves
    the pleasures in your eyes
    blinding splendour
    of deceit and lies.
