You went away, you left long time ago
Now you're knockin on my door
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in
I hear you knockin, go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now you're tellin me all your lies
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in, no ma'am, ha
I hear you knockin, go back where you been, aw yeah
You better go back to your used-to-be
Cuz your kinda lovin ain't good to me
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in, no ma'am
I hear you knockin, go back where you been
I told you way back in Fifty-two
That I'll never go with you
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in
I hear you knockin, go back where you been
Now you're knockin on my door
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in
I hear you knockin, go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now you're tellin me all your lies
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in, no ma'am, ha
I hear you knockin, go back where you been, aw yeah
You better go back to your used-to-be
Cuz your kinda lovin ain't good to me
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in, no ma'am
I hear you knockin, go back where you been
I told you way back in Fifty-two
That I'll never go with you
I hear you knockin, but you can't come in
I hear you knockin, go back where you been
