Alanis Morissette - Hands Clean
If it weren't for your maturity
|
none of this would have happened
|
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
|
I would've been able to control myself
|
If it weren't for my attention
|
you wouldn't have been successful and if
|
If it weren't for me
|
you would never have amounted to very much
|
Oo ooh this could be messy but
|
You don't seem to miind
|
Ooh don't go telling everybody and
|
Over look 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
|
You're kind of my prot'g'
|
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
|
I know you sexualize me
|
like a young thing but I think you
|
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
|
We best keep this to ourselves
|
and not tell any members of our inner posse
|
I wish I could tell the world cuz
|
you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
|
I might want to marry you one day
|
if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
