Morissette

 Alanis

 (Under Rug Swept)

 

 If it weren't for your maturity none of this would have happened

 If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've 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 would never have amounted to very much

 

 Ooh this could be messy

 But you don't seem to mind

 Ooh don't go telling everybody

 And overlook this supposed crime

 

 We'll fast forward to a few years later

 And no one knows except the both of us

 And I have honored your request for silence

 And you've washed your hands clean of this

 

 You're essentially an employee and I like you having to depend on me

 You're kind of my protg?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 sexualize me like a young thing would and I think I like it

 

 Ooh this could get messy

 But you don't seem to mind

 Ooh don't go telling everybody

 And overlook this supposed crime

 

 We'll fast forward to a few years later

 And no one knows except the both of us

 And I have honored your request for silence

 And you've washed your hands clean of this

 

 what part of our history's 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 especially to members of your family

 We best keep this to ourselves and not tell any members of our inner posse

 I wish I could tell the world cuz you're such a pretty thing when you're done
up properly

 I might want to marry you one day if you watch that weight and keep your firm
body

 

 Ooh this could be messy and

 Ooh I don't seem to mind

 Ooh don't go telling everybody

 And overlook this supposed crime
