Let me tell you what I know; Bend down low, let me tell you what I know. Oh yeah! You keep on knockin', but you can't come in. I get to understand you been livin' in sin, But if you love me, woman, walk right in. I've got a notch for your safety-pin, But bend down low. |

But bend down low, baby, let me tell you what I know; Bend down low, let me tell you what I know, yeah! Let me tell you, baby! Let me tell ya - Knock on, babe! Just won't let ya in! You been livin' in sin. Knock on! /fadeout/ |
