E
You went away and left long time ago
Now your knocking on my door
A
I hear you knocking
E
But you can't come in
A
I hear you knocking
B
Go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
Solo
You better get back to your used to be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
I told you way back in '52
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
End solo
