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 (Before Before Before)

It's happened before (Before Before)



Coincidence and patience

Will mend this fatal flaw

Though it may seem a long wait

Others 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 (Before Before Before)

It's happened before (Before Before)



You find your love before

It comes knocking at your door

Before you know for sure

This is what you were waiting for



You find your love before

It comes knocking at your door

Before you know for sure

This is what you were waiting for



It's happened before (Before Before Before)

It's happened before (Before Before)
