Bruce Springsteen lyrics -- Bruce Springsteen shows -- Bruce Springsteen records

Song title: I hear you knockin'


I hear you knockin'

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 use-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
