Haley Reinhart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me
Is she perverted like me
Would she go down with you to the theater
Does she speak eloquently
And would she have your baby
'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're with 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
That 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
The song "You Oughta Know" by Haley Reinhart is a cover of the iconic 90s hit by Alanis Morissette. In this song, the singer is addressing an ex-lover who left her heartbroken and confused. The lyrics convey a range of emotions, from bitterness and anger to sadness and longing.
The song opens with the singer expressing her sincere wish for the best for her ex-lover, but then goes on to question what he saw in his new partner. She wonders if the former couple's sexual preferences and compatibility were the same, and whether his new love interest speaks as eloquently as the singer does. She sarcastically notes that his new partner would make an excellent mother.
The second verse of the song takes a darker turn, as the singer reminisces about their past together and the love that they shared, which was not enough to make the relationship work. She's hurt by the fact that her ex-lover is with somebody else, and every time he mentions her name, it is a reminder of what they used to have. The singer tells him that he owes it to her to acknowledge the pain he caused her and not deny her a chance to move on.
In summary, "You Oughta Know" is a powerful song that captures the emotional rollercoaster of a breakup. It's an anthem for anyone who's been left behind and left to pick up the pieces of a broken heart.
Line by Line Meaning
I want you to know, that I'm happy for you
I don't hold any grudges against you and I want you to know that I wish you well
I wish nothing but the best for you both
I hope that you and your significant other have a great life together
An older version of me
Reflecting on who I used to be
Is she perverted like me
Is my previous self as twisted as I was
Would she go down with you to the theater
Would she do the same freaky things that I used to do with you
Does she speak eloquently
Does she express herself with class and sophistication
And would she have your baby
Would she be willing to have a child with you
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
I believe that she would be an amazing parent
'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
Even though we shared love, it wasn't able to keep us together
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
Our love wasn't enough to make you open up to me
And every time you speak her name
Whenever you mention your current partner's name
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Does your new partner know that you made promises to me that you didn't keep
Until you died, till you died
Promising to stay with me forever
But you're still alive
But you're still alive and well with your new partner
And I'm here to remind you
I'm here to make sure you don't forget
Of the mess you left when you went away
Of the chaos and emotions that you caused when you left
It's not fair to deny me
It's unfair for you to pretend like I don't matter
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
The emotional weight and burden that you left me with
You, you, you oughta know
You should know and be aware of what you did to me
You seem very well, things look peaceful
You appear to be doing well and everything in your life seems calm
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
I'm not doing as well as you might think and I wanted to inform you of that
Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity
Addressing their ability to deceive others and questioning whether or not they have forgotten about me
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
I don't want to interrupt your meal, but I need to communicate this to you
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
It hurt me deeply how quickly you moved on and replaced me
Are you thinking of me when you're with her?
Do you ever think about me when you are spending time with your new partner?
'Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
Reiterating that the love we shared wasn't enough to prevent our breakup
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
It didn't cause you to fully open up and be vulnerable with me
And every time you speak her name
Continuing to reference the current partner
Does she know how you told me you'd hold me
Wondering if they have communicated the same promises of commitment to their new partner
Until you died, till you died
Reiterating the same promise mentioned earlier
But you're still alive
But you're not dead, you've just moved on to someone else
And I'm here to remind you
Repeating the same lines from earlier
Of the mess you left when you went away
Referencing the aftermath and emotional turmoil left behind
It's not fair to deny me
Repeating the same lines from earlier
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
Repeating the same lines from earlier
You, you, you oughta know
Repeating the same lines from earlier
'Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me
Feeling used and manipulated in the past relationship
And I'm not gonna fade
Asserting that the emotions and pain they caused in me won't disappear
As soon as you close your eyes and you know it
Hoping that when they are alone they feel the impact of their actions
And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back
Acting out and projecting my pain onto others
I hope you feel it well can you feel it
Hoping that they feel the emotions and pain they caused me
And, I'm here to remind you
Repeating the same lines from earlier
Of the mess you left when you went away
Repeating the same lines from earlier
It's not fair to deny me
Repeating the same lines from earlier
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
Repeating the same lines from earlier
You, you, you oughta know
Repeating the same lines from earlier
That I'm here to remind you
Repeating the same lines from earlier
Of the mess you left when you went away
Repeating the same lines from earlier
It's not fair to deny me
Repeating the same lines from earlier
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
Repeating the same lines from earlier
You, you, you oughta know
Repeating the same lines from earlier

@Julio_Jesus
Why isn’t this on Apple Music! Here in 2021
@TheWizardofRandR
I do like her version of this Alanis Morissette tune , but I do like her voice and the song !
@Shmiguelly
I don't know why but when they made the studio versions they seemed to take away all the rasp from Haley's voice. I didn't understand it.
@emmanuel7042
It probably hurts her voice, singing like that damages the voice
@gynack

The Charismatic Voice has done some very informative YouTube Reactions to several Haley songs with PMJ. She is a trained opera singer, and she discusses briefly the potential damaging effects of using thon rasping growl. However, her conclusion is that Haley performs it in such a way that it will have minimal effect on her voice. She states that there have been a number of interesting studies on that very issue, and she has little concern about Haley's way of doing it..

Что бы она ни пела, мне нравится все......
