You went away and left me, long time ago And now you're 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 And now you're telling 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'd better get back to your used-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, baby, back in '52 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
