She was the first I ever knew
Came from the mainland on the east side
She said, "Donâ#128##153#t follow me,
donâ#128##153#t follow me, youâ#128##153#ll get lost
If you follow me, if you follow me youâ#128##153#ll get lost"

Sheâ#128##153#s 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, didnâ#128##153#t look like her type
Looked like genesis

She said, "Hey, donâ#128##153#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"
â#128##152#Cause 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 couldnâ#128##153#t 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, donâ#128##153#t ever let the failure get you down"
â#128##152#Cause it happens to the best of us
