I'm trying to concentrate on something, it's been on my mind
The dogs are barking, the traffic's passing, and my tongue is tied
But I can't hear a single word I'm singing,
and I can't hear a single note I'm playing
And I guess it's the wrong time, the wrong time
the wrong time of day
I guess it's the wrong time, the wrong time
the wrong time of day
To write a song for you
I'm trying to write a song for someone
that I love so dear
And if it takes me all night long,
all night long
I'd sing it when I'm through
But I can't hear a single word I'm singing
and I can't hear a single note I'm playing
And I guess it's the wrong time, the wrong time,
the wrong time of day
To write a song for you
