Hands Clean

Lyrics

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
 Ooh, this could be messy but
 You don't seem to mind, and
 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 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 ya
 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
 And 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 wanna 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 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, 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
 And I have honored your request for silence and
 You've washed your hands clean of this
