I followed you to the city,
baby
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 got me knockin' baby,
but you won't let me in
You got me knockin' baby,
but you won't let me in
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 bein' bad I'm
gettin' exactly what I deserve
You told me you loved me
And I believed you, babe
Lord, ain't you got a nerve?
You got me knockin', baby
I'm knockin'
You won't let me in
You got me knockin', baby
Yeah, now
Oh, if I could get my hands on a nipple, 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 nothin' much
goin' for you down here
But the home folks won't let you down
You got me knockin' baby,
knockin' baby
You won't let me in
You got me nodding, baby, oh
Lord
You won't let me in
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
