## Lyrics
[verse]
I hear you knockin' but you can't come in
I hear you knockin' like you did back then
You had your chance and you walked away
Now you're back here beggin' me to stay

[chorus]
I hear you knockin', but the door stays closed
I hear you knockin', that's the way it goes
I hear you knockin', on this rainy night
I hear you knockin', but it ain't right

[verse]
You took my kindness, tossed it on the ground
Left me standin' here without a sound
Now the tables turned and here you stand
Askin' for the thing you had at hand

[chorus]
I hear you knockin', but the door stays closed
I hear you knockin', that's the way it goes
I hear you knockin', on this rainy night
I hear you knockin', but it ain't right

[bridge]
Piano's rollin' out a bitter truth
Every note remembers our misspent youth
I ain't cruel, I just finally learned
Some doors stay shut once they've been burned

[chorus]
I hear you knockin', but the door stays closed
I hear you knockin', that's the way it goes
I hear you knockin', on this rainy night
I hear you knockin', but it ain't right
