Cover art for You Oughta Know lyrics by Alanis Morissette

I love this song... I think one of the things that makes it so powerful is that it really shows raw emotion. Alanis does not sugar-coat her how she's feeling during this song. It's unedited and honest. For anyone that's been in a situation like this (I'm sure a lot of us have), you can relate. It's her gut reaction to what has happened. When you feel you've been wronged like this, as Alanis does, your thoughts often tend to be full of rage and maybe even violence. But these are just thoughts she has, things she yearns to say to him, but can't and probably never will. Instead, she's left with all this pent-up hurt and anger. SUCH an amazing song. It blows me away every time I hear it.
