You went away and left me long time ago
And 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 me 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 a long time ago
The day would come when you missed me so
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been
You better go back to your use 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
