Ian Ball - Failure lyrics

She was the first I ever knew Came from the mainland on the east side She said, "Don't follow me, don't follow me, you'll get lost If you follow me, if you follow me you'll get lost" She's not your regular Mrs. Robinson She got him drunk so she could sneak out the hotel I played a little song, I got it all wrong It sounded like easy lover Well, she left and she smiled, didn't look like her type Looked like genesis She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" 'Cause it happens to the best of us She asked me which way I wanted to go I was too young to know the difference When she showed me a trick, I couldn't handle it I was too nervous So she gave me a wink, said I would thank her for it In the future when the other girls are lining up Don't let a little failure get you down She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" She said, "Hey, don't let a little failure get you down" She said, "Hey, don't ever let the failure get you down" 'Cause it happens to the best of us
