Knocking At Your Door Lyrics

I said, "Baby Who's that, knocking at your door"
I said, "Baby Who's that, knocking at your door"
Well, it must have been my best friend
And I don't live here no more

Well I woke up this morning
About fifteen after two
Well I woke up this morning
About fifteen after two
Well, I thought about my baby
I got damn old lonesome blues
Alright

She used to cook my breakfast
And feed me in the bed
She used to wash my face
And even comb my hair

I said, "Baby Who's that, knocking at your door"
I said, "Baby Who's that, knocking at your door"
Well, it must have been my best friend
And I don't live here no more

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
