Verse one: "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" -this section of the song is pretty self explanatory He is basically giving himself credit for everything.

General Comment i think this song is about her when she was young haveing a relationship with a much older guy General Comment I love how Alanis writes the lyrics to this song; they're all long, yet they work together so well.
