Alanis Lyrics
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
(Full House theme starts to play)
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, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, oughta know
(Multiple production company jingles)
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
(Full House theme starts to play)
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, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, oughta know
(Multiple production company jingles)
About
Genius Annotation
“Alanis” begins with the vocal track of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know” singing a cappella, before hilariously introducing the instrumental of the Full House theme from the previous song. The joke runs deeper than the counterintuitive juxtaposition of Alanis' vitriol with the saccharine glee of the instrumental: The widely believed rumor concerning “You Oughta Know” is that its lyrics address Dave Coulier, best known for playing lovable Uncle Joey on Full House. Scandalous!
