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 ideal ms. robinson
she got in drugs so she could seek out the hotel
i played her a song
i got it all wrong
it sounded like easy lovin'

well she left with a smile
didn't look like the type who liked 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
she said hey, don't let a little failure get you down
it happens to the best of us

she asked me which way i wanted to go
I was too young to know the difference
well she shown me a trip
I couldn't handle it i was to nervous
so she gave me the way
said I'd be back for it in the future

-incomprehensibe-

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
it happens to the best of us
