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 
others have been here before

You find your love before 
it comes knocking at your door
Before you know for sure
