You went away and left me
Long time ago
Now you come back
Knockin' on my do'

I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you been

I begged ya not to go
But you said, 'Goodbye'
Now you come back
Tellin' all those lies

I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you been

(instrumental & guitar)

If you had-a listened
Long time, ago
You wouldn't be goin'
From do' to do'

I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you been.
