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, '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 going to fade as soon As you close your eyes, and you know it And everytime 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

“You Oughta Know” foi lançada em julho de 1995 como o primeiro single de *Jagged Little Pill*, o terceiro álbum de estúdio de Alanis Morissette.
A canção foi escrita em colaboração com o produtor Glen Ballard, que Morissette conheceu em Los Angeles após seus dois primeiros álbuns.
Apesar de muita especulação, Morissette nunca revelou a identidade da pessoa a quem a música se refere.
O single alcançou o top 10 em três países e ficou entre os 40 primeiros em seis outras, além de manter o recorde feminino de permanência mais longa no topo da Billboard Alternative Airplay até 2013.
“You Oughta Know” venceu os Grammys de Melhor Canção de Rock e Melhor Performance Vocal Feminina de Rock, e também ganhou o Juno de Single do Ano.
O videoclipe foi dirigido por Nick Egan, contribuindo para a divulgação massiva da faixa.
