When Love Comes Knockin' At Your Door
The Monkees · More Of The Monkees [1967]
Just open up and let him in
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride
So, little girl, now don't you run and hide
I know that you've been hurt before
But don't you be afraid no more
Throw off the chains that bind
And leave the past behind
When love comes knockin' at your door
(I know)
When love comes knockin' at your door
(That you're afraid of loving me)
Just open up and let him in
(But don't you fight it, and you'll see)
It's gonna be a magic carpet ride
(That loving me will make you high)
So, little girl, now don't you run and hide
('Cause baby, I)
You'll see a rainbow every day
(I know that you've been hurt before)
The sun will shine in every way
(But don't you be afraid no more)
Throw off the chans that bind
And leave the past behind
No need to worry any more
When love comes knockin' at your door
At your door
At your door
At your door...
