One Little Slip

It was a recipe for disaster
A four course meal of no sirree
It seemed that happily ever after
Was happy everyone was after me.

It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over-reaction
I assume you know the rest.

One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things.

I guess I probably took the wrong direction
Well I admit I might have missed a sign or two
I ran a light past your affection
At humiliation Avenue.

Took a right turn at confusion
A left when I shoulda gone straight on through
I ran ahead with my assumptions
We all know what that can do.

One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things.

I get the feeling in this town
I'll never live till I live down
The one mistake that seems to follow me around
But they'll forget about the sky
When they all realize this guy's
About to try to learn to fly or hit the ground.

It was a cup of good intentions
A table spoon of one big mess
A dash of over-reaction
I assume you know the rest.

One little slip
One little slip
It was a humble little stumble
With a big un-graceful.

One little slip
One little slip
It was a fusion of confusion
With a few confounding things.
