Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I was lost and all alone
An empty heart without a home
Just at the time when I needed a friend
She came along and she took me in
And every time I'm feeling down
When the world closes in somehow
Just in the moment when I need her the most
She comes to me and she holds me close
[Chorus]
My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing
In the night when the world is quiet
And she's lying here by my side
When it's her sweet love I need
That's the moment when she comes to me
[Chorus]
And when she loves me
She always loves me right on time
When she holds me she's, oh, so close
I can feel her heart beat with mine
[Chorus: x4]
My baby's got good timing
An empty heart without a home
Just at the time when I needed a friend
She came along and she took me in
And every time I'm feeling down
When the world closes in somehow
Just in the moment when I need her the most
She comes to me and she holds me close
[Chorus]
My baby's got good timing
Don't know how but she reads my mind
And there's just one way to describe it
My baby's got good timing
In the night when the world is quiet
And she's lying here by my side
When it's her sweet love I need
That's the moment when she comes to me
[Chorus]
And when she loves me
She always loves me right on time
When she holds me she's, oh, so close
I can feel her heart beat with mine
[Chorus: x4]
My baby's got good timing
