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