[Verse 1]
C D
If it weren't for your maturity
Bm C
None of this would have happened
C D
If you weren't so wise beyond your years
Bm C
I would have been able to control myself
C D
If it weren't for my attention
Bm C
You wouldn't have been successful
C D
And if, if it weren't for me
Bm C
You would never have amounted to very much
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm C
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm C
But you don't seem to mind
C D Bm C
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
C D Bm C
And overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm C
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no-one knows except the both of us
And I have honoured 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
You're a kind of protege
And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me
I know you depend on me
Like a young thing would go to a guardian
I know you sexualize me
Like a young thing would and I think I like it
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm C
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm C
But you don't seem to mind
C D Bm C
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
C D Bm C
And overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm C
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no-one knows except the both of us
And I have honoured your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
[Bridge]
Em C G D
What part of our history is re-invented and under rug swept
What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget
What's with the distance it seems so obvious
[Verse 3]
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 member of our inner posse
I wish I could tell the world
Cos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly
I might want to marry you, one day
If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Bm C
Ooo-ooh this could be messy
C D Bm C
But you don't seem to mind
C D Bm C
Ooo-ooh don't go telling everybody
C D Bm C
And overlook this supposed crime
[Chorus]
C D Bm C
We'll fast forward to a few years later
And no-one knows except the both of us
And I have honoured your request for silence
And you've washed your hands clean of this
(Repeat again from Pre Chorus)
