Well, I found you're a rover
And it's made me blue
Like a talent scout
You want some love that's new
Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won'r be home
Don't call an' knock no more
Well, when you went away
And left me all alone
While you played around
I waited at home
Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won'r be home
Don't call an' knock no more
You had all my heart
It was your very own
You weren't satisfied
Now, I'll go on alone
Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won'r be home
Don't call an' knock no more
Oh, let's really knock it this time boys
Well, pity those with hearts
So empty and cold
To never know true love
A treasure to hold
Don't come back knockin'
At my heart's closed door
For I won'r be home
Don't call an' knock no more
