BEFORE AND AFTER
Words and Music by Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson
Love won't see my comin'
On a Sunday noon today
Still don't believe we're fadin'
but now the world should wait
And now you're fina'lly list'nin'
To what I have to say
Well, the time is right
And it is today
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Maybe we could talk about it
And try to get it straight
After all these years, baby,
Maybe it's too late
But I really need to
Have you by my side
And that's the only feelin'
Baby, I can't hide
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well you aren't list'nin'
I ain't talkin'
We ain't gettin' nowhere
I keep tryin' to get
Through to you baby
All you do is stare
I don't wanna see that
I need you by my side
Well, I don't want to be your lover
Babe, I wanna be your man
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, now my story's over, baby
And I ain't gonna tell it twice
Well, you better start list'nin'
Or get out of my life
Or you're gonna be left out
I said left out in the cold
Yeah, before you get my lovin', babe
You'll be too old
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Well, I'm talkin' to you baby
Well, I said
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
