Hands Clean Lyrics

[00:05.21] If it weren't for your maturity, none of this would have happened
[00:10.07] If you weren't so wise beyond your years, I would've been able to control myself
[00:14.91] If it weren't for my attention, you wouldn't have been successful and if
[00:19.86] If it weren't for me, you would never have amounted to very much
[00:24.98] Ooh, this could be messy but
[00:29.49] You don't seem to mind, and
[00:34.57] Ooh, don't go telling everybody and
[00:39.10] Overlook this supposed crime
[00:44.03] We'll fast-forward to a few years later and
[00:48.41] No one knows except the both of us
[00:53.41] And I have honored your request for silence
[00:57.48] And you've washed your hands clean of this
[01:03.00] You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me
[01:07.65] You're a kind of protégé, and one day, you'll say you learned all you know from me and
[01:12.55] And I know you depend on me like a young thing would to a guardian
[01:17.35] I know you sexualize me like a young thing would, and I think I like ya
[01:22.55] Ooh, this could get messy, but
[01:27.38] Ooh, you don't seem to mind
[01:31.62] Dude, don't go telling everybody and
[01:36.72] Overlook this supposed crime
[01:41.73] We'll fast-forward to a few years later
[01:46.28] And no one knows except the both of us
[01:50.73] And I've more than honored your request for silence
[01:55.20] And you've washed your hands clean of this
[02:00.82] What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept?
[02:10.33] What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget?
[02:17.38] What with this distance it seems so obvious?
[02:22.07] Just make sure you don't tell on me, especially to members of your family
[02:26.95] We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse
[02:31.89] I wish I could tell the world cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
[02:36.63] I might wanna marry you one day, if you watch that weight and keep your firm body
[02:41.68] Ooh, this could be messy, and
[02:46.66] Ooh, I don't seem to mind
[02:51.35] Ooh, don't go telling everybody and
[02:56.03] Overlook this supposed crime
[03:00.75] We'll fast-forward to a few years later and
[03:05.44] No one knows except the both of us
[03:10.10] And I have honored your request for silence
[03:14.36] And you've washed your hands clean of this
[03:20.17] Ooh, this could get messy, and
[03:24.91] Ooh, I don't seem to mind
[03:29.88] Ooh, don't go telling everybody and
[03:34.45] Overlook this supposed crime
[03:39.31] We'll fast-forward to a few years later
[03:44.03] No one knows except the both of us
[03:48.71] And I have honored your request for silence and
[03:53.07] You've washed your hands clean of this
[03:58.43]
[04:01.89] Hoo
[04:06.10] Ha
[04:09.70] Hoo
[04:13.11]
[04:16.13] Hoo
[04:18.99]
[04:21.53] Hoo
[04:24.08] Hoo
[04:24.69]
