I hear you knocking on the doorBut you ain't never comin' in, no,noTo this house no more'Cause it ain't likeIt ain't like it was beforeYou went sailin' on for that distant shoreOh, oh, ohTrue, we had love so trueOh and we had skies so blueWe had skies so blueSo I, I had my hopes up highTill all I heard was goodbye When I called for youI turn the key, you twist the knifeI can't win, no I can't winNow you're knockin' on the door But you can't come inOh noSo you can take it on the chinYeah you take it on your weak chinThen you do it all again and againTell me when will it endSongtexteAnd now you come backOh yeah, you crawled on backWith your head held high and Your book of lies in a burlap sackI just don't know, honey, what went wrongLove just can't grow when you're gone so longI turn the key, you twist the knifeI can't win, no I can't winNow you're knockin' on the door But you can't come inOh noOh you just don't knowWhich way the wind is going to blowNo, you just don't knowJust when the sky is going to fallYou've been a soldierYou've been a privateerNow you're looking much olderYes you are my dearNow your back againFrom the lion's denYou've got a plagiarist's eyeYou've got a poison penI turn the key, you twist the knifeI can't win, no I can't winNow you're knockin' on the door But you can't come inOh noOh you just don't knowWhich way the wind is going to blowNo, you just don't knowJust when the sky is going to fallLove can bend you, love can breakHearts can mend and hearts can acheLife will give you what you takeOh, life will give you what you takeLove can bend you, love can breakHearts can mend and hearts can acheLife will give you what you takeOh, life will give you what you take Aus Songtexte Mania
