Bittersweet Bad Timing

She slid on over right next to me,
Said if you be my Clyde, I'll be your Bonnie
And she wasn't talkin' 'bout goin' on the run,
She was talkin' 'bout fallin' in love

And that love lasted long as young love lasts,
It came in and went out too damn fast
And I didn't know if I was still her Clyde,
'Cause I hadn't seen her in a real long time

Till one day rollin' down a hometown street,
She went speedin' right by me
I turned around, and flagged her down,
And, as far as I could see

She hadn't changed, and neither had I
The only thing that tore us apart was time,
Sweet time, bittersweet, bad timing

Well I guess she's moved on by now,
With some other guy that's settled her down
And I guess I've moved on now too,
With a six string lover and a song or two

And maybe that's the way, it was supposed to go
With the two of us goin' our ways
And that's alright, that's fine with me,
Cause, as far as I can see

She hadn't changed, and neither had I,
The only thing that tore us apart was time
Sweet time, bittersweet, bad timing

She hadn't changed, and neither had I,
The only thing that tore us apart was time
Sweet time, bittersweet, bad timing
Yeah sweet, bittersweet, bad timing
