[Verse 1]
Keep a knockin', but you can't come in
Keep a knockin', but you can't come in
Keep a knockin', but you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again

[Verse 2]
You said you love me and you can't come in
You said you love me and you can't come in, woo!
You said you love me and you can't come in
Come back tomorrow night and try it again
Woo
