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
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
