Failure Lyrics by Ian Ball

Who Goes There

0

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
