Hands Clean (Acoustic) 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 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 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

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
