She was the first I ever knew
Came from the mainland on the east side
She said, "Donât follow me, donât follow me, youâll get lost
If you follow me, if you follow me youâll get lost"
Sheâs 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, didnât look like her type
Looked like genesis
She said, "Hey, donât 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"
âCause 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 couldnât 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, donât ever let the failure get you down"
âCause it happens to the best of us
