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

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

and i like you having to depend on me

you're kind of my 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 to a guardian
