Hands Clean (Acoustic Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If it weren't for your maturity, none of this would've 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 [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, this could be messy But you don't seem to mind, and Ooh, don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me And you're a kind of my protégé, and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me 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 it [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, this could be messy But, you don't seem to mind Ooh, don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? [Verse 3] 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 And I might wanna marry you one day, if you watch that weight and keep your firm body [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, this could be messy But you don't seem to mind And ooh, don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Ooh Ooh-oh Ooh-oh
