I Think You Ought To Know Lyrics

Watch out for your back JohnYou know what the doctors sayThey?ll put you in plasterTake all your pleasure awayAll this cavortingIt?s taking its tollYou?re getting no youngerWhy won?t you be toldThat?s more like itI?m bored of all that politicsLet?s see what really makes them tickThat?s more like itI?m bored by all those politicsIt?s their private lives you?ve come to seeDid you think I wouldn?t noticeThat I?d turn the other cheekWell I think you ought to know that?s not my styleBut why should you care ? just as long as I?m thereWhen you need someone to show up and smileShould I stay home and waitFor your affairs of the stateTo finally exhaust themselves of passionBut why should you careJust as long as I?m thereWhen you need someone to show the latest fashionPerhaps it?s time to rationYour persistent craving for fashionInstead of you spending money like waterYou treat it as a merry danceAnd everything must come from FranceWhy, you?re certainly your daddy?s daughterJust ?cos I don?t like your friendsDreary do?s that never endBeing nice to people when I?d rather chokeSo what if I just spend a bitI like my stuff to really fitBut don?t complainI still bring in the votesA First Lady who is so demureJust like the ones who went beforeIs that really how you want me to playWell your wings should be clippedand your fly should be zippedNow have you got it ? okayHow do you think it seems to meThe nation is on my backWar?s around the cornerAnd you?re fiddling around with hatsYou?re not sure of your placeYou just want a pretty faceAnd then you complain of competitionBut I?ll remind you if you pleaseThat I too can be a teaseAnd I won?t be asking your permissionYou can keep your politicsI love the finer things of lifeYou should have married your own kindIf you wanted that sort of wifeLet?s face it ? we give each other what we needYou give me class ? and I give you powerA marriage of convenience, political expedienceIs that all it means to youBut why should I careJust as long as you?re still thereWhen I need a dress or twoI think you ought to know it?s not been easyWhen you?re campaigning I?m often all aloneNo wonder that I go spendingOr would you have me just sit by the phoneThere?s a part of me that loves the lifeBut another part says noThere?s a part of me that wants to stayBut another says goI think you ought to know for you it?s differentNo wonder you take it in your strideFrom early days you were groomed for high officeBut who then could see me by your sideSo many times I?ve wanted to go backTo days when we were young and freeI think you ought to know it?s not been easyKnowing that I?m public propertyThen lean on me, I?m strong enough for both of usYes it?s trueThe political game is youBut if you belong to the countryWho then belongs to me
