Hands Clean by Alanis Morissette

If it weren't for your maturity
None of this would have happened
If you weren't so (1)________ 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
If it weren't for me, you (2)__________ never
Have amounted to very much
This could be messy, but
But you don't seem to mind, and
Don't go telling everybody, and
And over-look this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later, and
And no one (3)__________ 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 a kind of protégé and one day you'll say
You (4)______________ all you know from me, and
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
This could get messy, but
You don't seem to mind
Dude, don't go (5)______________ everybody, and
Over-look this supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later, and
No one knows except the both of us
I've more than honored your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
What (6)________ of our history's re-invented 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 (7)________ you don't tell on me
Especially to members of (8)________ family
We best (9)________ this to ourselves
And not tell any members of our inner posse
I wish I could (10)________ the world
'Cause you're such a pretty thing
When you're done up properly
I might wanna marry you one day
If you'd watch that weight and you keep your firm body
This could be messy
I don't seem to mind
Don't go telling everybody, and
Over-look 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
This could get messy, but
I don't seem to mind
Don't go telling everybody, and
Over-look 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
