    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?
    '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

    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
    But 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?
    '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 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
    Now can you feel it?

    'Cause 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
    🤘🤘

      About 8 years after that song came out, one of my uncles saw the CD in my truck, pointed at that song on the case, and exclaimed, “Holy shit! Have you ever paid attention to the words in that song?!” Uhh, yup.

      That’s Dave Coulier, best known for his role on Full House. It has long been rumored that Alannis Morissette wrote the song “You Oughta Know” about him, though it has never been confirmed.

        Shes had sharp quips about Dave over the years, and the timelines work out.

        She dated Ryan Reynolds for years too. She clealry has a thing for comedians.
