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
And I assume you know the rest

(Chorus)
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
And humiliation never knew
Took a right turn at confusion
A left when I should've gone straight on through
I ran ahead with my assumptions
We all know what that can do

(Chorus)

I get the felling 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 is 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
And I assume you know the rest

One little slip, One little slip
It was a humble little stumble
With a big ungraceful…

(Chorus)
