You Oughta Know (Alternative take)
You Oughta Know (Alternative take)
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, till 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
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 on 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
