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 as preverted as me
Would she go down
On you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
I'm sure she would 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

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 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 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

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

Ooh
Ahh ahh
Ahh
Ahh ahh

Ooh
Ahh ahh
Ahh ahh
Ahh oh

Oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

'Cause the joke that you laid
In the bed that was me
And I'm not going to fade
As soon as you close your eyes
And you know it

And everytime 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 bare
That you gave to me

You
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
