When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
This one thing I know
When love goes wrong, a man takes flight
And women get uppity-oh
The sun don't beam,
The moon don't shine,
The tide don't ebb and flow
A clock won't strike,
A match won't light,
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
The blues all gather 'round you
and day is dark as night.
A man ain't fit to live with
and a woman's a sorry sight.
[Choir:]
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
When love goes wrong, nothing goes, nothing goes right.
[When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
Bees don't buzz, fish don't bite
Clock won't strike, the match won't light
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.]1
A woman's a fright, a terrible sight
A man goes out, gets high as a kite,
Love is something you just can't fight
You can't fight it, honey you can't fight it
When love goes wrong, nothing ...
No bows, honey, just eight bars and off
Nothing goes right.
It's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost it's glow.
So take this down in black and white,
When love goes wrong, nothing goes right.
