Don't Come Knockin'

[Intro – 4 bars, Instrumental] [Spoken] Don’t come knockin’ at my door… [Verse 1] You used to say you’d love me forever Now you’re gone and we’re not together Left me cryin’ every day But I wiped my tears away… Used to wait up by the phone Now I’m stronger on my own Gave you all, but got my pride I’m done with your lies [Pre-Chorus – Emotional lift] You had your chance, you let it go... (Let it go…) Now you don’t come back no more… (No more…) Hoped that I’d believe your lies (You lied…) Now I’m finally sayin’ goodbye… [Chorus – Big Hook] Don’t come knockin’ at my door I don’t need your love no more Every tear I cried for you Helped me see the truth… Don’t come knockin’ at my door I can’t do this like before I still love you, that’s the truth But I’m better without you [Post-Chorus Chant – Soft Echo] Who needs love? (Not me!) Who needs you? (Not me!) I’m doin’ just fine, can’t you see? Don’t come back no more…. [Verse 2] Every time you say my name Every song still sounds the same But I learned my lesson well Boy, I broke your spell… Now I’m laughin’ with my friends Don’t need you to make amends Yes it’s hard, but I can see What I need to be [Pre-Chorus] Love like yours can break a heart… (Break a heart…) But it can’t tare me apart... (Not no more…) Got my sparkle, got my shine... This life is mine! [Chorus – Bigger, more emotion] Don’t come knockin’ at my door I don’t need your love no more Every tear I cried for you Helped me see the truth… Don’t come knockin’ at my door I can’t do this like before I still love you, that’s the truth But I’m better without you [Bridge – Emotional peak] If you’d loved me like you said… (Like you said…) I’d still be right there instead… But love shouldn’t hurt this way… So I’m walkin’ away… [Breakdown – Call & Response] Say goodbye! (Goodbye!) Don’t you cry! (Don’t you cry!) I’m movin’ on (Movin’ on) And I’m holdin’ my head up high! [Final Chorus – full harmony] Don’t come knockin’ at my door I don’t need your love no more Every tear I cried for you Made me someone new… Don’t come knockin’ at my door Heard all your promises before I still love you, that’s the truth But I’m better without you [Outro – Classic fade] Don’t come knockin’… (Not no more…) Don’t come knockin’ at my door I still love you, that’s the truth [All – fading] But I’m stronger… without you...
