You Oughta Know
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?
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, Mister 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?
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?
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! Oooh
'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. No
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it and 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...
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!
