a taxi nearly mowed me down
Took it as some kind of sign and
opted for the underground
Missed one train, the second stall,
think thirty -fourth and twenty -third
Arrived late for a major date,
she walked out, me without a word
It all comes down to timing,
it all comes down to timing
Spare the silver lining, man,
it all comes down to timing
Tried to see a movie show and
missed the start by 20 minutes
Tried to crash another film,
the usher wouldn't let me in it
the cash machine was out of cash
ATM, but dropped the card into the trash
It all comes down to timing,
it all comes down to timing
In case you need reminding,
it all comes down to timing
Broke, rejected and rejected,
I happened on a record store
Beatles, I found the clerk to ask her more
Now we're married, five years on,
I'm blessed to say it all went wrong
Lost it all but got the girl and
got the lyrics to this song
It all comes down to timing,
it all comes down to timing
it all comes down to timing
It all comes down to timing,
it all comes down to timing
You can't see your mind and man,
it all comes down to timing
