Keep On Knocking Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I can remember
It was you who didn't wanna see my face
If I can remember
It was you who put me in my place
You gettin' down and out
Now you wanna be with me
Well, I got news for you
That ain't the way it's gonna be
[Verse 2]
You thought that me and you
Were just a big game
But now you're back for more
And I done forgot your name
I'm sorry, baby
It had to end like this
You know we tried
Baby, we just missed
[Chorus]
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
If I can remember
It was you who didn't wanna see my face
If I can remember
It was you who put me in my place
You gettin' down and out
Now you wanna be with me
Well, I got news for you
That ain't the way it's gonna be
[Verse 2]
You thought that me and you
Were just a big game
But now you're back for more
And I done forgot your name
I'm sorry, baby
It had to end like this
You know we tried
Baby, we just missed
[Chorus]
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
[Verse 3]
I bet you're wondering
How I got along without you
For your information
So many things I could do
If what you're hoping
That what I'm sayin' ain't true
Well then, baby
Then find somebody new
[Chorus]
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
I bet you're wondering
How I got along without you
For your information
So many things I could do
If what you're hoping
That what I'm sayin' ain't true
Well then, baby
Then find somebody new
[Chorus]
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
Keep on knockin', keep on knockin' on the door
About
Genius Annotation
The song was written during one of Death’s early bedroom jam sessions. A group of girls had heard them playing, and were eager to enter the room they were jamming in. The song came together almost instantly with the band jamming about what was happening live, with the people outside wanting to get in knocking on the door.
