I Hear You Knockin'
(Dave Bartholomew/Pearl King)

You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knocking 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
And now you're telling me all your lies
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' go back where you've been

Ah yeah, ohoo woo ????
Fats Domino - Smiley Lewis - Chuck Berry - Huey Smith - oh

You'd better get back to your use-to-be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
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
That 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
Yeah, ahoo ....

originally performed by Smiley Lewis (1955)
