Hands Clean — текст песни (Alanis Morissette)

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 kind of my protйgй 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 sexualize 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
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
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

Ooh this could be messy and
Ooh I don`t seem to mind
Ooh don`t go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
