I shoulda learned better
I'm old enough to know
Slippin' and slidin', feeling low

Yeah, it's a setback, you bet
A shameful show, baby
Slippin' and slidin', feeling low

Now I'm waking up feeling bad again
I'm losing patience with my only friend
Why do I try my luck?
I should never touch this stuff
But it shouldn't make any difference, mama
As long as I keep up appearance

Now, I've been working too long,
I need some time at home, baby
Slippin' and slidin', feeling low

Darlin', I just need a little comfortin'
I ain't seen the sunrise since I don't know when, baby
Days getting longer, nights getting cold
Slippin and slidin, feeling low
I'm slippin' and slidin', peekin' and hidin'
I'm slippin and slidin', feeling low.
