Select language to translate this lyric
When I was just a boy, I never had a toy
My folks were just too poor to buy me balls
But if the fate were mine, another place,
another time,
I would have been a rich man's son
But I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
It's slowly messing up my mind
I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
Always just a little bit behind
Every single day, this young man
works hard for his pay
But it never seems to be enough
Now I've been shooting for the sky
shot down by every try
Getting their, stamp, is mighty tough
'Cause I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
It's slowly messing up my mind
I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
It's slowly messing up my mind
When I first met you, I thought your love
was true
I wanted you to be my wife
But last night when I was by myself
Girl I saw you with somebody else
I guess that's just the story of my life
'Cause I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
It's slowly messing up my mind
Now, I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
Always just a little bit behind
People I'm, 'Cause I'm always in the wrong place,
always at the wrong time
