A Love to believe in
Junior Turner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1
Here’s one man’s story about his search for glory
I don’t want someone to move the earth
Doesn’t matter what that person may be worth
Tried so many times before been so close to her front door
Seems I just haven’t found the key
Is it down to fate or is down to me
Bridge
If I leave her now If I don’t stay
If I died tomorrow I must say
Chorus
Why am I waiting for a love to believe in
It only seems to bring me pain
But I try & try again
So why am I waiting for a love to believe in
For in my mind I am so sure
Out there, is the one I’m looking for
Verse 2
Everyone that comes along
Same old question is she the one
My mind fills up so much to say
If I tell her now will she still stay
Feel like I’m going insane so many feelings
So much pain
So for now I’ll be the lone ranger
Keep my heart away from danger
Bridge
If I leave her now If I don’t stay
If I died tomorrow I must say
Chorus
Why am I waiting for a love to believe in
It only seems to bring me pain
But I try & try again
So why am I waiting for a love to believe in
For in my mind I am so sure
Out there, is the one I’m looking for
Verse 3
Here’s one man’s story about his search for glory
I didn’t want someone to move the earth
Didn’t matter what that person may be worth
Tried so many times before was so close to her front door
Seems I just didn’t find the key
Was it down to fate or was it down to me
Bridge
If I leave her now If I don’t stay
I’ve died inside I’ll always say
Chorus
Why am I waiting for a love to believe in
It only seems to bring me pain
But I try & try again
So why am I waiting for a love to believe in




For in my mind I am so sure
Out there, is the one I’m looking for
