Hands Clean - Alanis Morissette
If it weren't for your maturity
None of this would have happened and
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
I would've been able to control myself and
If it weren't for my attention
You wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me
You will never have amounted to very much
Ooh, this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
You're essentially an employee
And I like you having to depend on me and
You're kind of protege
and one day you'll say
You learned all you know from me and
I know you depend on me
Like a young thing would to a guardian and
I know you sexualize me
Like a young thing would and I think I like it
Ooh, this could be messy
But you don't seem to mind
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later and
No one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
What part of our history's reinvented
and under rug swept?
What part of your memory is selective
and tends to forget?
What with this distance it seems so obvious?
Just make sure you don't tell on me
Especially to members of your family and
We best keep this to ourselves
And not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world
Cause you're such a pretty thing
when you're done up properly and
I might want to marry you one day
If you watch that weight
and keep your firm body
Ooh, this could be messy
I don't seem to mind
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
Ooh, this could be messy
I don't seem to mind
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no one knows except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
