Cover art for Don't Let Me In lyrics by Steely Dan

A bitter Becker/Fagen relationship themed song about someone reluctantly putting an end to an unhealthy relationship. Usually lumped in with the pre-Steely Dan recordings, but I am pretty sure this was recorded after they were an established band. "Don't Let Me In" (along with "Come Back Baby") sounds like it could have been recorded 1972-74. If it is pre-Dan, it could have been recorded in between the "Walk It Like You Talk It" soundtrack and "Can't Buy A Thrill". If that's the case, I can't figure out why they did not release this as a single, with "Come Back Baby" as the A-side instead of the miserable "Dallas"/"Sail The Waterway" single.
