Every time you open your eyes you hope it's alright
Wonderin' if it's all in your mind hopin' that the end is in sight
But it's right there when you turn around
Everybody makes a mistake I know how you feel
But somehow it's become a big deal and now it's almost unreal

You may think there's a good explanation
For the big, black stain on your reputation
But you'll never live it down
In one ear and straight out the other
But there's just no way that you can recover
And you'll never live it down

You don't really have an excuse you're just havin' fun
Still not even sure what you've done
But it's right there, when you turn around
Everybody makes a mistake I know how you feel
But somehow it's become a big deal and now it's almost unreal

You may think there's a good explanation
For the big, black stain on your reputation
But you'll never live it down
In one ear and straight out the other
But there's just no way that you can recover
And you'll never live it down

And maybe it's not that bad maybe the worst is past
Livin' it downs the hardest thing
And even if you're confused even if it's not true
Even the sun has turned its back, turned its back on you

You may think there's a good explanation
For the big, black stain on your reputation
But you'll never live it down
In one ear and straight out the other
But there's just no way that you can recover
And you'll never live it down

Down, down, down
