Smiley Lewis - I Hear You Knocking

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
