Текст Barenaked Ladies – 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 tablespoon of one big mess
A dash of overreaction
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
I took a right turn at confusion
A left, when I should have gone straight on through
I ran ahead with my assumptions
And we all know what that can do

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

I get the feeling in this town
I’ll never live ’til I live down
The one mistake that seems to
Follow me around
They’ll forget about the sky
When they all realize
This guy’s about to

It was a cup of good intentions
A tablespoon of one big mess
A dash of overreaction
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
