Knockin'

[Chorus]

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

[Verse 1]

Workin' day and night

Gotta get up and pay my bills

People want what they want

They don't care about how you feel

You ain't gon' get me today

You better move out my way

I got a whole lot to live for

Don't wanna hear the blues today, no

Economy down, said the news

'Cause we bought the war

Changes come like the wind

Now I know what hope is for

I see the sun on my face

And you won't hear me complain (Hey)

'Cause I can't let the dark days bring me down

Got a lotta things to say

Don't be knockin' at my door

[Chorus]

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

(Can't come in)

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

(You ain't gonna win me, no)

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

(I hear you knockin')

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

(Oh, kn-kn-knockin' at my door)

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

(Don't do it)

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

(You can't win)

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

[Verse 2]

People always usin' other people

Tryna get ahead

Runnin' after the light

Never thinkin' 'bout they said

Hey, what's the matter with you?

You need to watch what you do

Hey, you got to get your head straight

Live your life and do what He told you to do, yeah

Early Sunday mornin'

Preacher talkin' 'bout savin' souls

He said, "I don't have all the answers

I'm just here to try to let you know"

Every time that you pray

A blessin' comes right away, yeah

Don't let the hard times take your spirit

Move the devil away

Don't be knockin' at my door

[Chorus]

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

(You can't come in)

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

(You ain't gon' win)

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

(I hear you knockin')

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

(Kn-kn-kn-kn-knockin' at my door)

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

(I, I, yeah, yeah)

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

(I hear you knockin', yeah, yeah)

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

(Hey)

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

Don't be knockin' at my door, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

(I hear you knockin', yeah)

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

(You can't come in)

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

(I hear you kn-kn-kn-kn-knockin' at my door)

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'

[Outro]

I hear you knockin' but you can't come in

(You can't come in)

I hear you knockin' but you ain't gon' win

(Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

I hear you knockin', uh-uh, I hear you knockin', uh-uh

I hear you knock, knock, knock, knock, knockin'
