I came home early to a goodbye note With the diamond in the pocket of my old coat So I sat down to read the words she wrote About the wrong love at the right time She said "the good Lord know we sure did try We thought we had the right love wrapped up tight But a change of heart came over me tonight It's the wrong love at the right time Wrong love at just the right time The thunder's clapping while the sun's still shining A quintessential case of essential bad timing It's the wrong love at the right time So I was down on love feeling all alone Wonderin if my baby's gonna come back home Then the lightning strikes with the ringing of the phone It's the wrong love at the right time A long lost sweetheart callin on the line Checkin on me wonderin if im doing fine It looks like this is a mighty good sign It's the wrong love at the right time Wrong love at just the right time The thunder's clapping while the sun's still shining A quintessential case of essential bad timing It's the wrong love at the right time Ain't it funny how it turns around You finally get your feet back on the ground Cause the one that you're needing is the one found The wrong love turns out right Just when you think you're getting left behind You stumble on what you never thought you'd find It just goes to show it's the grand design And there ain't no wrong love Wrong love at just the right time The thunder's clapping while the sun's still shining A quintessential case of essential bad timing It's the wrong love at the right time
