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      CHORUS   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      REPEAT CHORUS      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      REPEAT CHORUS
