Hands Clean by Alanis Morissette

If it weren't for your maturity
None of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond (1)________ years
I would've (2)________ able to (3)______________ myself
If it weren't for my attention
You wouldn't have (4)________ successful, and if
If it weren't for me, you (5)__________ never
Have (6)________________ 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 knows except the both of us
And I (7)________ honored your request for silence
And you've (8)____________ your hands clean of this
You're essentially an employee
And I like you having to (9)____________ on me
You're a kind of protégé and one day you'll say
You learned all you know from me, and
And I know you depend on me
Like a young (10)__________ would to a guardian
I know you sexualize me
Like a young (11)__________ would and I think I like it
This (12)__________ get messy, but
You don't seem to mind
Dude, don't go telling everybody, and
Over-look (13)________ supposed crime
We'll fast forward to a few years later, and
No one (14)__________ except the both of us
I've more than honored your request for silence
And you've (15)____________ your (16)__________ clean of this
What part of our history's re-invented and under rug swept

What part of (17)________ memory is selective and (18)__________ to forget
What with this distance it (19)__________ 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 (20)______________ of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world
'Cause you're such a pretty thing
When you're (21)________ up properly
I might wanna marry you one day
If you'd watch that weight and you (22)________ (23)________ firm body
This (24)__________ 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 (25)__________ except the both of us
And I have honored your request for silence
And you've washed your (26)__________ 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 (27)________ forward to a few years later, and
No one knows except the both of us
And I have (28)______________ your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
