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

Till you died
Well, 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
And 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

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

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

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
