| The telephone’s not answered |
| So many times you’ll call |
| For many different reasons |
| so many tears will fall |
| Before |
| you find your love |
| Before |
| it comes knocking at your door |
| Before |
| you know for sure |
| this is what you were waiting for |
| So many fears will haunt you |
| Deny them or regret |
| Some men will make you want to |
| and you will not forget |
| Before |
| you find your love |
| Before |
| it comes knocking at your door |
| Before |
| you know for sure |
| this is what you were waiting for |
| There’s a story of a man who loved too much |
| He ended up inside a prison cell |
| You’ve got to want to give to get it |
| or you could land up in the same suspicious hell |
| It’s happened before |
| It’s happened before |
| Coincidence and patience |
| will mend this fatal flaw |
| Though it may seem a long wait |
| other have been here |
| Before |
| you find your love |
| Before |
| it comes knocking at your door |
| Before |
| you know for sure |
| this is what you were waiting for |
| One day when the phone starts ringing |
| you’ll answer to the words you’re longing for |
| No tears, no trade, no prison cell |
| Whatever you need he will return more |
| It’s happened before |
| It’s happened before |
