[Verse 1]
Hey, it's me, what a big surprise
Calling you up from a restaurant 'round the bend
Just got in from way up North
I'm achin' and tired now and I could use a friend
I might be a fool
To think that you do wanna see me again

[Verse 2]
I know it's been a while since I talked to you
Nothing wrong, just nothing ever goes as planned
Many times I thought I'd call
But didn't have your number in my hand
Well, I know it's true
You'd never do the same thing to me

[Chorus]
I never meant to make you cry
And though I know I shouldn't call
It just reminds us of the cost
Of everything we've lost
Bad timing, that's all
And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad timing that's all
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Used to have so many plans
Something always seemed to turn out wrong
I never could catch up to you
Moving on and doing all you've done
I don't know why
The harder I try, the harder it comes

[Chorus]
I never meant to make you cry
And though I know I shouldn't call
It just reminds us of the cost
Of everything we've lost
Bad timing, that's all
And maybe soon there'll come a day
When no more tears will fall
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad, timing that's all
We each forgive a little bit
And we both look back on it
It's just bad, timing that's all

[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Thank you very much
Thank you to that one woman for dropping by
That was a nice little dance, that was lovely
