[Silence]
\n[Instrumental, Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Bass, Drums, Piano, Organ, Synth]<\/p>\n

[Intro]
\n[Instrumental Intro: Rolling Bass, Playful Electric Guitar, Tight Drums, Quirky Synth Stabs]
\n[Spoken Vocal]
\nOops…<\/p>\n

A little too far?
\n(Into bizarre)
\nA little too fast?
\n(Into the past)
\nA little too much?
\n(… and such)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nOops
\n(Went a little overboard)
\nOops is the word?
\n(Can you go a little…)
\nWithout going a lot
\n(Why… why not?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nStarted with a little more
\nThen I opened up the door
\nOne more step and one more try
\nThen the next thing caught my eye<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nOops!
\n(Went a little overboard)
\nOops!
\n(That’s the word)<\/p>\n

Can you go a little
\n(Without going a lot?)
\nRush the edge
\n(And not get caught?)<\/p>\n

Why?
\n(Why not?)
\nWhy?
\n(Why not?)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nThere’s a line between enough
\nAnd a little bit too much
\nThere’s a point where more is more
\nTill you’re standing past the shore<\/p>\n

[Instrumental]
\n[Electric Guitar Solo: Playful Surf-Rock Lead, Bouncy Bass, Tight Drums, Organ Chops, Synth Accents]
\n[Bridge]
\nOver!
\n(Over!)<\/p>\n

Board!
\n(Board!)<\/p>\n

Past the line
\n(Past our prime)<\/p>\n

[Breakdown]
\n[Drums Drop Out: Acoustic Guitar, Bass Groove, Soft Synth]
\nOops…<\/p>\n

Did it again.<\/p>\n

One more little step…<\/p>\n

One more little push…<\/p>\n

And suddenly\u2014<\/p>\n

Overboard!
\n(Oh my lord!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nOops
\n(Went a little overboard)
\nOops is the word?
\n(Can you go a little…)
\nWithout going a lot
\n(Why… why not?)<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nOops!
\n(Went a little overboard)
\nThat’s the word
\n(You knew you would)<\/p>\n

Can you go a little
\n(Without going a lot?)
\nTest the edge
\n(See what you’ve got)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nOops
\n(Went a little overboard)
\nOops is the word?
\n(Can you go a little…)
\nWithout going a lot
\n(Why… why not?)<\/p>\n

Why?
\n(Why not?)
\nWhy?
\n(Why not?)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\n[Instrumental Outro: Surf Guitar, Bouncy Bass, Handclaps, Drums, Quirky Synth Fade]
\nOops…<\/p>\n

A little over…<\/p>\n

A little board…<\/p>\n

Overboard.<\/p>\n

[Spoken]<\/p>\n

Oops.<\/p>\n
