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
