You went away and left me, long time ago
Now you come back, 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
Now you come back, telling all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been
I told you way back in '52
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
You'd better go back to your used-to-be
Because your love's no good to me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you've been
