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 it weren't for me you would

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

You're a kind of my protégé

And one day you'll say you learned

All you know from me

I know you depend on me like a young

Thing would to a guardian

I know you ***ualize me like a young

Thing would and I think I like it

Ooh this could get 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

I've more than 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

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

I might want to marry you one day

If you watch that weight and keep your firm body

Ooh this could be messy and

Ooh 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

No one knows except the both of us

I've more than honored your request for silence

And you've washed your hands clean of this

Ooh this could get 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

I've more than honored your request for silence

And you've washed your hands clean of this
