Hands Clean - Alanis Morissette (full lyrics) If it weren\u0027t for your maturity, none of this would have happened If you weren\u0027t so wise beyond your years I would\u0027ve been able to control myself If it weren\u0027t for my attention, you wouldn\u0027t have been successful and if If it weren\u0027t for me you would never have amounted to very much Ooh, this could be messy but But you don\u0027t seem to mind and Ooh, don\u0027t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We\u0027ll 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\u0027ve washed your hands clean of this You\u0027re essentially my employee and I like you having to depend on me You\u0027re kind of my protege and one day You\u0027ll 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 Ooh, you don\u0027t seem to mind Dude, don\u0027t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We\u0027ll fast forward to a few years later And no one knows except the both of us I\u0027ve more than honored your request for silence And you\u0027ve washed your hands clean of this What part of our history\u0027s 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\u0027t 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 \u0027Cause you\u0027re such a pretty thing when you\u0027re 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\u0027t seem to mind Ooh, don\u0027t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We\u0027ll 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\u0027ve washed your hands clean of this Ooh, this could get messy but Ooh, I don\u0027t seem to mind Ooh, don\u0027t go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We\u0027ll 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\u0027ve washed your hands clean of this
