I Hear You Knocking Lyrics

You went away and left me long time ago
And 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 me 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 a long time ago
The day would come when you missed me so
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been

You better go back to your use 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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
