I Hear You Knockin' [Live/I Hear...]
Dave Edmunds · Dave Edmunds Band Live: I Hear You Rockin' [1987]
You went away and left me long time ago
And now your 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 your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
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 been
I told you way 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 been
And now your 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 your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
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 been
I told you way 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 been
