i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
i'd have said the right thing but i must have used the wrong line
i been in the right trip but i must have used the wrong car
my head was in a bad place and i'm wondering what it's good for
i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
my head was in a bad place but i'm having such a good time

i been running trying to get hung up in my mind
got to give myself a good talking-to this time
just need a little brain salad surgery
got to cure my insecurity

i been in the wrong place but it must have been the right time
i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong song
i been in the right vein but it seems like the wrong arm
i been in the right world but it seems wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong

slipping dodging sneaking creeping hiding out down the street
see me life shaking with every who i meet
refried confusion is making itself clear
wonder which way do i go to get on out of here

i been in the right place but it must have been the wrong time
i'd have said the right thing but i must have used the wrong line
i'd have took the right road but i must have took a wrong turn
would've made the right move but i made it at the wrong time
i been on the right road but i must have used the wrong car
my head was in a good place and i wonder what it's bad for
