Lyrics What A Letdown - Barenaked Ladies

What A Letdown

Even if I let this settle
It’ll lead to a little fight
Even when I get to meddling
I need to remain polite
I could cut across this field
But it hits pretty close to home
Maybe if I jiggle it a little
It’ll open up on it’s own
Never has a stranger had a better
Taste of another town
Just time for a cowboy breakfast —
That’s a leak and a look around
Looks like the land of plenty;
There will be plenty there to do
That might have been funny at twenty
But I just turned thirty-two
Let down your guard
Moving forward
Finally, four words:
What a let down
What a letdown
Even if I let this settle
It’ll lead to a little fight
Even when I get to meddling
I need to remember to remain polite
I could cut across this field
But it hits pretty close to home
Maybe if I jiggle it a little
It’ll open up on it’s own
