Lyrics

I Hear You Knockin'

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You went away and left me, long time ago

Now you come back, knocking 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

Now you come back, telling all your lies

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 '52

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

You'd better go back to your used-to-be

Because your love's no good to me

I hear you knocking

But you can't come in

I hear you knocking

Go back where you've been
