Crying on my front door
You done daddy dirty now
And honey, he ain't gonna love you no more
And don't let the sun catch you crying
Crying on my front door
You done daddy dirty now
And honey, he ain't gonna love you no more
Well, you can cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh now baby, you can wail
You can bang your little head on the pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail
Crying on my front door
You done daddy dirty now
Yeah, and honey, he ain't gonna love you no more
Well, you can cry, cry, cry, cry
Oh now baby, baby, you can wail
You can bang your hear on that hard, hard pavement
Till the man comes and throws you in jail
Crying on my front door
You done daddy dirty now
And honey, he ain't gonna love you no more
Yeah, you know you done him dirty now
You know you done him dirty

Its enduring appeal lies in its honest portrayal of human frailty, making it a staple of McCartney's discography that resonates across generations of listeners seeking authenticity in their music.
