Hands Clean Lyrics by Alanis Morissette

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 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
