Lyrics of You Oughta Know - Jimmy the Saint Blend by Alanis Morissette
verse
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
pre-chorus
'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
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 bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
verse
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 thinkin' of me when you fuck her?
pre-chorus
'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
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 bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
bridge
'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
Well, 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
Why 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
verse
I went to your house
I walked up the stairs
I opened your door without ringing the bell
I walked down the hall
Into your room
Where I could smell you
And I shouldn't be here without permission
I shouldn't be here
chorus
Would you forgive me, love
If I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love
If I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love
If I stay all afternoon?
verse
I took off my clothes
Put on your robe
Went through your drawers
And I found your cologne
Went down to the den
Found your CD's
And I played your Joni
And I shouldn't stay long
You might be home soon
I shouldn't stay long
chorus
Would you forgive me, love
If I danced in your shower?
Would you forgive me, love
If I laid in your bed?
Would you forgive me, love
If I stay all afternoon?
verse
I burned your incense
I ran a bath
I noticed a letter that sat on your desk
It said "Hello, love
I love you so, love
Meet me at midnight"
And no, it wasn't my writing
I better go soon
It wasn't my writing
chorus
So forgive me, love
If I cry in your shower
So forgive me, love
For the salt in your bed
So forgive me, love
If I cry all afternoon
Writer(s): Glen Ballard, Alanis Nadine Morissette
