Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know

Have you ever been pissed off as much as you can furiously explode an entire dick or vagina of your beloved one with an Iraqi-made dynamite after you found out he/she is involving in another forbidden relationship with some other bitches/bastards or something like that? You sure should appreciate what Ms. Morissette had written down here.

Assumed to be straight out of her inner harshness after once shared bed with Dave Coulier (actor from a TV sitcom Full House), Morissette co-wrote the song with Glen Ballard with an obvious aggressiveness. As the song's publicly seen to be a verbal revenge to the one who gave her a broken down love affair, it as well started off her outrageous career to be world's then-new rising star. After enjoyed ruling the Canadian chart, where she's born and raised, for a while, Morissette debuted this song on the US Billboard Hot 100 and made it as far as no.6. The song played a significant role in pushing her album's sale upwards to more than 16 million copies in US alone! Making it the best selling international debut album from a female artist in the history of music industry.

FYI. It's honored to be the first hit single from a female artist to include the word "fuck" in the lyrics, how impressive.

Personally, it's damn sure to be one of my most favorite tracks from Alanis - along with Uninvited and Joining You. Listening to this song when you feel like punching someone is soooo satisfying...




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 theater
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

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

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...

  2. Hope u don't hate her afterwards since this is her last piece of aggressiveness. Her followed works are more like sensitive and optimistic. ><
