I Hear You Knocking Lyrics

You went away and left me long time ago
Now you come back knockin' 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 tellin' 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 get 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
