Knock, Knock
Knock, Knock, Knock
Hello, who’s that?
It’s me – and I’m back
I’m like a beggar man,
Knocking at your door,
Eating all the crumbs
That fall to your floor,
Asking you please –
Will you gimme some more?
Of your sweet, sweet
loving girl woy?
They say that beggars
have no choice,
But I won’t be a
beggarman all my life,
I’m asking you once,
I’m asking you twice,
Won’t you make me
a sacrifice,
And just: Knock, Knock
Knock, Knock, Knock
Gimme, gimme,
gimme, some more
Of your sweet, sweet
loving girl,
My love is real,
My love is advanced,
Give me your loving,
And give me a chance,
I want you to be mine,
Until the end of time,
Because your loving
Is hard to find,
You are a woman
of a special kind,
Just like the raindrops falling,
From the skies,
Or even the tear (drops)
From my weeping eyes,
My love for you
Is solid and true,
I want to prove
It to you my girl
Just knock, knock,
Knock, knock, knock,
Hello: Who’s that?
It’s me and I’m back
I beg you: gimme, gimme,
gimme, some more of your
sweet, sweet loving girl
