I followed you to the city, baby
From a little country town
You got me way up here in the city, baby
And now you wanna put me down
You 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
But you won't let me in
You've got me knockin', baby (Knockin', baby)
You won't let me in
ย
You gave me the key to your apartment
But the key won't fit the lock
And every time I come home, baby
It's a crying shame but I have to knock
It's my own fault for leaving
I'm getting exactly what I deserve
You told me you loved me and I believed you, baby
Lord, ain't you got a nerve
You've got me knockin', baby (I'm knockin')
But you won't let me in
You've got me knockin', baby (Yeah, now)
But you won't let me in
If I could get my hands on a nickel, baby
I guess I'd better make that a dime
Oh, I'd run and find myself a phone booth
And get some of the home folks on the line
All my friends told me not to leave home
They said, "You don't know that town
You may not have nothing much going for you down here
But the home folks won't let you down"
You've got me knockin', baby (Knockin', baby)
But you won't let me in
You've got me knockin', baby (Ooh, Lord)
But you won't let me in

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
