Wrong Time, Wrong Guy (Janet's Theme) ((Personal Request))

She walks into the room with a hopeful little smile

Thinking maybe tonight love will stay for a while

But the first man she meets has a gold band on his hand

Says, "I'm flattered, but I'm already someone's man"

Then she finds a sweet one, soft eyes, gentle tone,

'Til he says, "Girl, you're stunning... but I don't date women"

She laughs it off, but inside she feels that sting

Another night, another almost-could-have-been

She's got a heart that's open

She's got so much love to give

But every time she reaches out

It slips right through her fingertips

Every good man's taken or he's loving someone else

Or he's way too young to know himself

And the ones she meets who might be right

Are twenty years older and calling her "child"

She keeps trying, she keeps shining

But it's always wrong place, wrong time, wrong guy

She's not picky, she's just tired of the signs

Too young, too old, too married, too far from right

She meets a handsome stranger with a confident grin

Thinks, "Maybe this is someone I could finally let in"

But he says, "I'd stay and talk, but my wife's outside"

And she whispers, "Of course she is... that's just my life"

Then a baby-faced dreamer buys her a drink

She smiles back-then he says he's twenty-three

She nearly chokes, says, "Honey, you're sweet

But I've lived more life than your ID"

She's got dreams worth sharing

She's got room for someone true

But the universe keeps teasing her

Saying, "Not him-not yet-not you"

Every good man's taken or he's loving someone else

Or he's way too young to know himself

And the ones she meets who might be right

Are twenty years older and calling her "child"

She keeps trying, she keeps shining

But it's always wrong place, wrong time, wrong guy

She's not picky, she's just tired of the signs

Too young, too old, too married, too far from right

But she still believes in timing
