She slid on over right next to me,

Said if you be my Clyde, I'll be your Bonnie

And she wasn't talkin' 'bout goin' on the run,

She was talkin' 'bout fallin' in love



And that love lasted long as young love lasts,

It came in and went out too damn fast

And I didn't know if I was still her Clyde,

'Cause I hadn't seen her in a real long time



Till one day rollin' down a hometown street,

She went speedin' right by me

I turned around, and flagged her down,

And, as far as I could see



She hadn't changed, and neither had I

The only thing that tore us apart was time,

Sweet time, bittersweet, bad timing



Well I guess she's moved on by now,

With some other guy that's settled her down

And I guess I've moved on now too,

With a six string lover and a song or two



And maybe that's the way, it was supposed to go

With the two of us goin' our ways

And that's alright, that's fine with me,

Cause, as far as I can see



She hadn't changed, and neither had I,

The only thing that tore us apart was time

Sweet time, bittersweet, bad timing



She hadn't changed, and neither had I,

The only thing that tore us apart was time

Sweet time, bittersweet, bad timing

Yeah sweet, bittersweet, bad timing
