You went away and left me long time ago
And now I hear you’re knockin’ on my door

I hear you knocking but you can’t come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you’ve been
I begged you not to go, but you said goodbye
And now you tell me all your lies
I hear you knocking, but you can’t come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you’ve been

You better get back to your use to be
‘Cause your kind of love ain’t good for me

I hear you knocking, but you can’t come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you’ve been
I told you way back in Fifty Two
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking, but you can’t come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you’ve been
