You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
Keep a-knocking but you can't come in
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

You said you love me but you can't come in
You said you love me but you can't come in, woooh
You say you love me but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
Keep a-knocking but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

You say you love me but you can't come in
You say you love me but you can't come in
You say you love me but you can't come in, woooh
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

Knocking

You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

You say you love me but you can't come in
You said you love me but you can't come in
You said you love me but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

You keep a-knocking
You keep a-knocking
You keep a-knocking

One more time now

You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in
You keep a-knocking but you can't come in, woooh
Come back tomorrow night and try it again
