Song Lyrics

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
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes right
When love goes wrong
Nothing goes, nothing goes right
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, nothin'
No bows, honey, just cigat bars and off
Nothing goes right
Crazy, Crazy oui, oui

It's like we said
You're better off dead
When love has lost its glow
So take this down in black and white
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
When love goes wrong nothing goes right
Nothing goes right

Harold Adamson, Hoagy Carmichael
