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

And ooh, this could be messy, but

You don't seem to mind

And ooh, don't go telling everybody, and

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 protégé

And one day, you'll say you learned all you know from me, and

And 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

Ooh, you don't seem to mind

Dude, 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'd watch that weight and keep your firm body

Ooh, this could be messy, and

Ooh, I don't seem to mind

Oh, 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 get messy, but

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, 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
