I hear you knocking on the door,
but you ain't comin' in, no, no,
to this house no more.
Cause it ain't like,
it ain't like it was before.
You went a-sailin' on for that distant shore.
Oh, oh, oh...
True, we had love so true,
oh we had skies so blue,
we had skies so blue.
So I, I had my hopes up high,
till all I heard was goodbye when I called for you.
I turn the key, you twist the knife,
I can't win,
no I can't win.
Now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in.
Oh no...
So you take it on the chin,
yeah you take it on the weak chin.
Then you do it all again and again,
tell me when will it end.
And now you come back,
oh yeah, you crawled on back,
with your head held high and your book of lies in a burlap sack.
I just don't know, honey, what went wrong.
Love just can't grow when you're gone so long.
I turn the key, you twist the knife,
I can't win,
no I can't win.
Now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in.
Oh no...
Oh, you just don't know,
Which way the wind is going to blow.
No, you just don't know,
Just when the sky is going to fall.
You've been a soldier,
you've been a privateer,
now you're looking much older, yes you are, my dear.
Now you're back again,
from the lion's den,
you've for a plagiarist's eye,
you've got a poison pen.
I turn the key, you twist the knife,
I can't win,
no I can't win.
Now you're knockin' on the door but you can't come in.
Oh no...
Oh, you just don't know,
Which way the wind is going to blow.
No, you just don't know,
Just when the sky is going to fall.
Love can bend you, love can break,
hearts can mend and hearts can ache.
Life will give you what you take,
oh, life will give you what you take.
Love can bend you, love can break,
hearts can mend and hearts can ache.
till the end!
Thanks!
