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