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

[Chorus:]

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

[Chorus:]

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

[Chorus]
