I Hear You Knockin'

I Hear You Knockin' - Smiley Lewis

Lyrics by：Dave Bartholomew

Composed by：Pearl King

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

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
