One little mistake
Leads to one big problem
Slipped out of my hands
Everything that I've ever wanted

Maybe it's karma
Maybe it's just bad timing

How could I know when you walked through the door?
That one smile at me and I'd want it all
'Cause it's you that I've waited so long for
But it's always been bad timing, bad timing with you

So close to my heart
But you're still so far away from me
And I thought you were gone
I moved on, but now you're right in front of me

It's always this way, this game we're in
Love makes a fool out of me

How could I know when you walked through the door?
That one smile at me and my whole world would fall
And it's you that I've waited so long for
'Cause it's always been bad timing, bad timing

It's all those little things how we talk on the phone
From dusk till dawn, yeah
Now why can't you be here when I'm not with someone else
When I'm free, when I'm free, yeah

How could I know when you walked through the door?
That one smile at me and I'd want it all
'Cause it's you that I've waited so long for
But it's always been bad timing, bad timing with you
