It Never Comes

You're sitting there cryin at home
Waiting by the telephone
Hes out runnin around
Thinking that youll never know
But youve played this game before
He breaks your heart again
You take him back and then its over
Almost over

Except the loneliness
Of a long distance love
He looks for
Happiness
In the arms of another
Tell me
How many teardrops will fall
While youre waiting for that telephone call
That never comes
It never comes

You feel so alone
Especially when the night comes
So you go out
Hoping that youll meet someone
To kill this pain inside
You let him take you home

And all the pain is gone away
But in the light of day
You see the
Loneliness
Of a long distance love
You look for tenderness
In the arms of another
Tell me
How many teardrops will fall
While hes waiting for that telephone call
That never comes
It never comes

You still believe in the happy ever after
After the pain comes the love and the laughter
So you wait in vain and you wonder
Why it never comes
It never comes

Except the loneliness
Of a long distance love
He looks for
Happiness
In the arms of another
Tell me
How many teardrops will fall
While youre waiting for that telephone call
That never comes
It never comes
