Hands Clean (Acoustic Version)

Alanis Morissette

If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years i would have been able to control myself
If i weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and
If it weren't for me you would never've amounted to very much

BRIDGE
ooh this could get messy but
ooh you dont seem to mind
ooh dont go tellin' everybody
overlook this supposed crime

CHORUS
we'll fast forward to a few years later
no-one knows except the both of us
and i have honored your request for silence
you've washed your hands clean of this

you're essencially an employee and i like you having to depend on me
you're a kind of protégé and one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
i know you depend on me like a young think would to a guardian
i know you sexualise me like a young thing would and i think i like it

BRIDGE

CHORUS

what part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
what part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
whats with distance it seems so obvious?

Just make sure you dont tell on me especially to members of your family
we'd 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 your done up properly
i might wanna marry you one day if you watch that weight and you keep your firm body

BRIDGE 2
ooh this could get messy and
ooh i dont seem to mind
ooh dont go telling everybody
overlook this supposed crime
