Don't Go Knockin' On My Door

Britney Spears · Triple Feature [2012]

(Don't go knock my door)

(Don't go knock my door)



Time is up

No more cheat and lie

No more tears to dry

You and I we're like so bye-bye



Finally, I am over you

Totally unblue when I can hear myself saying:

"I am better off without you.

Stronger than ever and I, I'm telling you now..."



[chorus:]

Don't go knocking on my door

Gotta stay away for sure

You say you miss me like crazy now

But I ain't buying that, you'd better get off my back

Don't go knocking on my... door



I can see (oh)

It's no mystery

It's so clear to me

What we had is all history



It's okay, I can sleep at night

It will be alright

I can hear myself saying: "I am better off without you.

Stronger than ever and I, I'm telling you now..."



[chorus:]

Don't go knocking on my door

Gotta stay away for sure

You say you miss me like crazy now

But I ain't buying that, you'd better get off my back

Don't go knocking on my door (Door, woha)

Gotta stay away for sure

You say you miss me like crazy now

But I ain't buying that, you'd better get off my back

Oh yeah, yeah



(Don't go knock my door)

(Don't go knock my door)

(Don't go knock my door)



[bridge:]

(Do what you want)

As long as you don't come back

Don't go knocking on my door (ooh yeah)

Gotta stay away for sure

And I, I ain't buying that,

You'd better get off my back



[chorus:]

Don't go knocking on my door (Oh yeah, yeah)

Gotta stay away for sure

You say you miss me like crazy now

But I ain't buying that, you'd better get off my back

Don't go knocking on my door

(Don't go knocking on my door)

Gotta stay away for sure (Gotta stay away for sure)

You say you miss me like crazy now

But I ain't buying that, you'd better get off my back

Don't go knocking on my... door



talking (phone call):]

Britney & friend: (laughing)

Britney: "Ok, ok ok ok, so listen, listen so then he goes, no matter what I do

for you it never seems to be enough... ioww! I can't believe he said that. You

don't think I'm like that do you?"

Friend: "Well, you are..."

Britney: "What?! don't tell me you agree with him. Oh my god, oh my god!"

Friend: "Well, I mean everything was fine next it's your freaking out,

it's like you never satisfied"

Britney: "Well I know I'm a little pikky... but hey, I just know what I want!"

Don't Go Knockin' On My Door

Released on Britney Spears' 2012 album Triple Feature, 'Don't Go Knockin' On My Door' stands as a poignant reflection on the complexities of fame and personal boundaries. The track captures the exhaustion of constant public scrutiny, contrasting sharply with her earlier pop anthems. Produced by Max Martin, the song blends electronic elements with a driving rhythm, characteristic of her mid-2010s sound. It serves as a mature exploration of her career trajectory, addressing the toll of maintaining a public persona while seeking private peace. The recording marks a shift in her discography, moving away from youthful exuberance toward introspective storytelling that resonates with listeners navigating similar pressures in the modern music industry.
