I HEAR YOU KNOCKING BUT YOU CAN'T COME IN
(Smiley Lewis)
You went away and left long time ago
Now your knocking on my door
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now your telling me all your lies
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you been
You better get back to your used to be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
I hear you knocking
But you can't come in
I hear you knocking
Go back where you 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 been

"...In November 1970 [Dave Edmunds from Wales] records his debut solo single called "I Hear You Knocking" that debuts in the US on 26 December and peaks at #4 on the pop chart and goes all the way to #1 in the UK. The record would eventually sell over 3 million copies worldwide. The song was written by blues singer "Smiley Lewis" who took it to #2 on the US R&B chart in 1955. It was also a #2 pop hit also in 1955 for "Gale Storm". "Fats Domino" covered the song again in 1961 but it only made it to #67 on the US pop chart for him."...
