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

Alternate Version: 
Dave Edmunds - 1970


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 

Ahhh yeah 
Let me hear it 
Ohhooo woo 

OOhh 

You better get back to your used-to-be 
'cause your kind of love ain't good to me 
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 
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've been 

Yeah 
Awwhoooo
