I Think You Ought To Know Songtext

Watch out for your back John
You know what the doctors say
They'll put you in plaster
Take all your pleasure away
All this cavorting
It's taking its toll
You're getting no younger
Why won't you be told

That's more like it
I'm bored of all that politics
Let's see what really makes them tick

That's more like it
I'm bored by all those politics
It's their private lives you've come to see

Did you think I wouldn't notice
That I'd turn the other cheek
Well I think you ought to know that's not my style
But why should you care ? just as long as I'm there
When you need someone to show up and smile

Should I stay home and wait
For your affairs of the state

To finally exhaust themselves of passion
But why should you care
Just as long as I'm there
When you need someone to show the latest fashion
Perhaps it's time to ration
Your persistent craving for fashion
Instead of you spending money like water
You treat it as a merry dance
And everything must come from France
Why, you're certainly your daddy's daughter
Just ?cos I don't like your friends
Dreary do's that never end
Being nice to people when I'd rather choke
So what if I just spend a bit
I like my stuff to really fit
But don't complain
I still bring in the votes

A First Lady who is so demure
Just like the ones who went before
Is that really how you want me to play
Well your wings should be clipped
And your fly should be zipped
Now have you got it ? okay

How do you think it seems to me
The nation is on my back
War's around the corner
And you're fiddling around with hats

You're not sure of your place
You just want a pretty face
And then you complain of competition
But I'll remind you if you please
That I too can be a tease
And I won't be asking your permission

You can keep your politics
I love the finer things of life
You should have married your own kind
If you wanted that sort of wife
Let's face it ? we give each other what we need
You give me class ? and I give you power
A marriage of convenience, political expedience
Is that all it means to you
But why should I care
Just as long as you're still there
When I need a dress or two
I think you ought to know it's not been easy
When you're campaigning I'm often all alone
No wonder that I go spending
Or would you have me just sit by the phone

There's a part of me that loves the life
But another part says no
There's a part of me that wants to stay
But another says go

I think you ought to know for you it's different
No wonder you take it in your stride
From early days you were groomed for high office
But who then could see me by your side

So many times I've wanted to go back
To days when we were young and free
I think you ought to know it's not been easy
Knowing that I'm public property
Then lean on me, I'm strong enough for both of us

Yes it's true
The political game is you
But if you belong to the country
Who then belongs to me
