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

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
