Here's one Di and I wrote a while back. The only doubt we have about the song is if it might need to be sped up just a bit...maybe 4 - 6 bpm. When it first starts, it seems a bit slow but by the time it gets to the first chorus, it feels about right. Open to opinions and suggestions about that...or anything else. Thanks! Alan & Di
Don't Come Knockin'
(v1)
Hope you're proud of your cheatin' self, cuz I'm taking you down off the shelf
Sending you on down the road, your childish game is just too old
All you have to offer me, is your infidelity
You've left me feeling empty and so cold
CHORUS
Don't come knockin' on my front door, I ain't got nothin' for you no more
I've grown tired of all your alibis
And don't come knockin' at my back door, things ain't the way they were before
I'm fed up with all your cheatin' lies
(v2)
I gave you everything, my heart - my soul - and all that bling
But I guess that ain't enough, my love - my dreams - and all that stuff
Cuz you had to cross the line, I guess you thought that I was blind
But Honey I saw every thing, guess I saw too much
CHORUS
Don't come knockin' on my front door, I ain't got nothin' for you no more
I've grown tired of all your alibis
And don't come knockin' at my back door, things ain't the way they were before
I'm fed up with all your cheatin' lies
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
(v3)
Hope you find what turns you on, cuz honey what we had is gone
I can't let you hang around, to tear me up and bring me down
Don't come runnin' back to me, I'm through with you just let me be
That string around my finger just came unwound
CHORUS
Don't come knockin' on my front door, I ain't got nothin' for you no more
I've grown tired of all your alibis
And don't come knockin' at my back door, things ain't the way they were before
I'm fed up with all your cheatin' lies
REPEAT CHORUS
