Hands Clean — текст песни (Morrissette Alanis)

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

Chorus
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 protege
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

Chorus

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

Chorus
