Under Rug Swept

Hands Clean

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

If it weren't for my attention you wouldn't have been successful and

If it weren't for me you would never have amounted to very much


Ooh this could be messy

But you don't seem to mind

Ooh don't go telling everybody

And overlook this supposed crime


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


You're essentially an employee and i like you having to depend on me

You're kind of my protégand one day you'll 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 you don't seem to mind

Ooh don't go telling everybody

And overlook this supposed crime


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


What part of our history's 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't 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 cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're 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't seem to mind

Ooh don't go telling everybody

And overlook this supposed crime
