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

You better go back to your "used-to-be" 
cause you and your love ain't no good for me 
I hear you knocking but you can't come in 
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been
