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
