You're out breaking new ground on the wrong side of town But you cried and your conscience once more will get you down Like an overgrown puppy with a sheep killing wind You'll come knocking on my backdoor and once I'll let you in Once more I'll let you in and once more I'll forgive Cause life of pretend is the kind of life we live When you say I love you I start living again So knock on my backdoor once more I'll let you in [ steel ] I know I'll cry tomorrow but at least I smile today You'll love me just enough so I won't stray while you're away I'll just keep on waitin' for the love that I can't win So knock on my backdoor once more I'll let you in Once more I'll let you in... So knock on my backdoor once more I'll let you in
