Lyrics

You went away and left me long time ago
Now you come back knockin' on my door
I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you've been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now you come back tellin' all those lies
I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you've been
I told you way back in '52
I would never go with you
I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you've been
You better go back to your used-to-be
Because your love's no good to me
I hear you knockin'
But you can't come in
I hear you knockin'
Go back where you've been
