Version 1ALANIS MORISSETTE HANDS CLEAN [Verse 1] C D If it weren't for your maturity Bm C None of this would have happened C D If you weren't so wise beyond your years Bm C I would have been able to control myself C D If it weren't for my attention Bm C You wouldn't have been successful C D And if, if it weren't for me Bm C You would never have amounted to very much [Pre-Chorus] C D Bm C Ooo-ooh this could be messy C D Bm C But you don't seem to mind C D Bm C Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody C D Bm C And overlook this supposed crime [Chorus] C D Bm C We'll fast forward to a few years later And no-one knows except the both of us And I have honoured 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 You're a kind of 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 go to a guardian I know you sexualize me Like a young thing would and I think I like it [Pre-Chorus] C D Bm C Ooo-ooh this could be messy C D Bm C But you don't seem to mind C D Bm C Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody C D Bm C And overlook this supposed crime [Chorus] C D Bm C We'll fast forward to a few years later And no-one knows except the both of us And I have honoured your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this [Bridge] Em C G D What part of our history is re-invented and under rug swept What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget What's with the distance it seems so obvious [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 member of our inner posse I wish I could tell the world Cos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly I might want to marry you, one day If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body
