One Little Slip - Lyrics - Barenaked Ladies

It was a recipe for disaster A four course meal of no siree It seemed that happily ever after Was happy everyone was after me It was a cup of good intentions A tablespoon 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 guy's about to try to learn to fly or hit the ground It was a cup of good intentions A tablespoon 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 ungraceful… One little slip, One little slip It was a fusion of confusion With a few confounding things
