(Clayton-Thomas, Halligan)

Once a girl I knew, all alone and unprepared
Everyone she knew, running scared
Then she found him or maybe he found her
His were gentle words she had never heard before

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Don't you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me
You've been silent for too long"

Once another man took her on a younger day,
All a young girl can do is pray
Then she found him or maybe he found her
His were gentle words she had never heard before
She had never heard before

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Don't you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me
You've been silent for too long"

He said, "Lisa, listen to me,
Don't you know where you belong?
Darling, Lisa, you can tell me
You've been silent for too long"

Once a girl I knew, all alone and unprepared
Everyone she knew, running scared
Then she found him or maybe he found her
His were gentle words she had never heard before
She had never heard before
