Right Place, Wrong Time

Tom Jones · Other Songs - Tom Jones

I was in the right place

But it must have been the wrong time

I'd of said the right thing

But I must have used the wrong line

I been in the right trip

But I must have used the wrong car

My head was in a bad place

But I'm wondering what it's good for



I been the right place

But it must have been the wrong time

My head was in a bad place

But I'm having such a good time



I been runnin' tryin' to get hung up in my mind

Just got to give myself a little talking to this time

Every little brain needs some surgery

I've got to cure this insecurity



I been in the wrong place

But it must have been the right time

I been in the right place

But it must have been the wrong song

I been in the right vein

But it seems like the wrong arm

I been in the right world

But it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong



Slipping, dodging ,sneaking

Creeping hiding out down the street

See me life shaking with every who I meet

Refried confusion is making itself clear

Wonder which way do I go to get on out of here



I been in the right place

But it must have been the wrong time

I'd have said the right thing

But I must have used the wrong line

I'd a took the right road

But I must have took a wrong turn

Would have made the right move

But I made it at the wrong time

I been on the right road

But I must have used the wrong car

My head was in a good place

And I wonder what it's bad for
