Busting in on a new roommate
Banging your beautiful Zoom-mate
Looking a lot like a mess-up, mess-up

Giving a standing ovation
Orchestra's tuning up, shame, shame
Highly uncultural mess-up, mess-up

Winning through illicit doping
Ladder collapsed while eloping
So many ways you can mess up, mess up

Run far away, run and just hide
Know that in time shame will subside

Phoning in sick 'cause you're laid up
Boss sees you racing your Ram truck
Now you're laid off, what a mess-up, mess-up

Too eager in your acquainting
Boyfriend of hers has you fainting
Heavy right fist, now you're messed up, messed up

Run far away, run and hide
Know that in time shame subsides

To-ing when you should be fro-ing
Staying when you should be going
So very easy to mess up, mess up

Panning what you should be lauding
Booing while others applauding
Always a sign of a mess-up, mess-up

Run far away, run and then hide
Hope that someday your shame subsides
In time your shame subsides
In time your shame subsides

Messing up, jig is up, you've messed up
Messing up, jig is up, you've messed up

Trying too hard to be crying
Audience sees that you're lying
Just a theatrical mess-up, mess-up

You say you never have messed up
How 'bout a minuscule 'fess up?
Surely, just once you have messed up, messed up

Run far away, run and hide
Run far away, run and hide
