You went away and left me, long time ago
Now you've 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
And now you've come back telling me all those 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

[Piano Solo]

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
