Before [Single Edit]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant] The telephone's not answered So many times you'll call For many different reasons So many tears will fall [Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod] Before you find your love Before it comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for [Verse 2: Neil Tennant] So many fears will haunt you Deny them or regret Some men will make you want to And you will not forget [Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod] Before you find your love Before it comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for [Post-Chorus 1: Neil Tennant, (Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod)] 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) [Verse 3: Neil Tennant] Coincidence and patience Will mend this fatal flaw Though it may seem a long wait Others have been here [Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod] Before you find your love Before it comes knocking at your door Before you know for sure This is what you were waiting for [Post-Chorus 2: Neil Tennant, (Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod)] 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) [Chorus: Neil Tennant, Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod] 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 [Outro: Neil Tennant, (Barbara Tucker, Carole Sylvan & Karen Bernod)] It's happened before (Before, before, before) It's happened before (Before, before)
