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 sorry sight.
When love goes wrong,
Nothing goes right.
