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 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 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
