From a little country town
Got me way up here in the city baby
And now you want to put me down
Said come on boy let's leave here
This place ain't where it's at
So I packed up my clothes
And I took to the road
Now I can't get back
You've got me knockin' baby
You won't let me in
You've got me knockin' baby
You won't let me in
You gave me the key to your apartment
Key won't fit the lock
Now at night when I come home baby
Cryin' shame but I still have to knock
It's my own fault for leavin'
Guess I got what I deserved
But you told me that you loved me
And I believed you baby
Boy you sure got some nerve
You've got me knockin' baby
You won't let me in
You've got me knockin' baby
You won't let me in
If I ever get my hands on a nickel baby
Guess I better make it a dime
Goin' to the nearest phone booth
Get some of the home folks on the line
They all told me not to leave home
They said boy you don't know that town
You know you may not have a whole lot goin' on down here
But the home folks won't let you down
You've got me knockin' baby
You won't let me in
You've got me knockin' baby
You won't let me in
You took me to the city baby From a little country town Got me way up here in the city baby And now you want to put me down Said come on boy let's leave here This place ain't where it's at So I packed up my clothes And I took to the road Now I can't get back You've got me knockin' baby You won't let me in You've got me knockin' baby You won't let me in You gave me the key to your apartment Key won't fit the lock Now at night when I come home baby Cryin' shame but I still have to knock It's my own fault for leavin' Guess I got what I deserved But you told me that you loved me And I believed you baby Boy you sure got some nerve You've got me knockin' baby You won't let me in You've got me knockin' baby You won't let me in If I ever get my hands on a nickel baby Guess I better make it a dime Goin' to the nearest phone booth Get some of the home folks on the line They all told me not to leave home They said boy you don't know that town You know you may not have a whole lot goin' on down here But the home folks won't let you down You've got me knockin' baby You won't let me in You've got me knockin' baby You won't let me in Explain Request ×
