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
