If it weren't for your maturity, none of this would have happened
If you weren't so wise beyond your years, I would have 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'd never have amounted to very much

Oohhh, this could get messy
but you don't seem to mind
Ooooh, don't go telling everybody
and overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
No one knows except the both of us
I have honoured your request for silence
and you washed your hands clean of this

You're essencially an employee and I like having you depend on me
You're a kind of protegée, and 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 s__ualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

Oohhh, this could get messy
but you don't seem to mind
Ooooh, don't go telling everybody
and overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
No one knows except the both of us
I have honoured your request for silence
and you washed your hands clean of this

What part of our history is 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, specially to members of your family
We'd better keep this to ourselves and not tell any member of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world, cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might even marry you one day if you watch that weigh and you keep your firm body

Oohhh, this could get messy
oohhh I don't seem to mind
Ooooh, don't go telling everybody
and overlook this supposed crime

We'll fast forward to a few years later
No one knows except the both of us
I have honoured your request for silence
and you washed your hands clean of this
