| Alanis Morissette – Hands Clean Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I've listened to this song a lot lately, it reminds me of someone I met when I was working as an unpaid intern at a small business. I have very mixed feelings about this guy who is fifteen years older than me, though I'm not in my teens like Alanis. Also, this guy never took advantage of me sexually. Anyway, he would talk to me all the time and pay a lot of attention to me and recommend me to some of his contacts at other businesses. On the other hand, he expected me to work real hard and I strained myself quite a bit just to impress him. I suppose I thought he was my friend but now I'm not so sure. I wonder if he was nice to me only because he wanted me to do a lot of unpaid work, and because he was flattered to be admired by a younger woman. Now I got a much better position financially, but I'm not that happy there and somehow I miss him. At the same time I feel like he 'washed his hands clean' of me and the messed-up person I've become. I don't know. |

Attempt at another translation: The Game That you're not what you used to be Since you undressed for me That you chuck everything because of one night and lose everything, is not how it was supposed to be You want me for yourself and you want all of me But on this level it's no fun for me That doesn't make me complete, I only feel at home caught between two stools I just want to play I'm not doing anything That you leave someone because of me That you cry sometimes because it hurts you That there is somebody else every once in a while who occasionally slips into my life That you fall in love because we did it That it hits you so hard I didn't know It wasn't planned that you're feeling Like one out of many now I just want to play I'm not doing anything That you don't sleep anymore because it arouses you When I move, how I move That you almost burn under my hand When I touch you, I had no idea I'm just standing there, doing this and that Running my hand through my hair and suddenly you want something Better let it drop, I respect your feelings too much I just want to play I'm not doing anything |
