Hands Clean (Live at London’s 02 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, 2020) Alanis Morissette

[Verse 1]
If it weren't for your maturity, none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years, I would've been able to control myself, and
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 get messy
But you don't seem to mind, and
Ooh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime

[Chorus]
And 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 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 get messy
But you don't seem to mind, and
Oh, don't go telling everybody
And overlook this supposed crime
