[Verse 1]
I could not explain myself
Or all the things I did to hurt myself
I'm surrounded now, their expectations are low
How everything's so wonderful
Oh, how the world's so understandable
They’ll never let me down, never down

[Pre-Chorus]
Have you seen the world without its makeup on?
It wears the mask of a pretty girl
It’s pretty dull, she’s a pretty doll

[Chorus]
As the world falls apart
I try to keep it together for us all
So don't knock, don't knock me down
There’s already enough to go around
Enough to carry in my heart
So don’t knock, don’t knock, don’t knock me down

[Verse 2]
Just another Jezebel
I've got a choice between Hell and Hell
Am I dumb? Am I afraid? I don't know
Oh man, how I hate myself
After all, I didn't change myself
It doesn't matter now, oh
I have no one to show
[Pre-Chorus]
Have you seen the world without its makeup on?
It wears the mask of a pretty girl
It’s pretty dull, she’s a pretty doll

[Chorus]
As the world falls apart
I try to keep it together for us all
So don't knock, don't knock me down
There’s already enough to go around
Enough to carry in my heart
So don’t knock, don’t knock
Don’t knock me down

[Bridge]
One after another I see them fall, fall, fall down
One after another (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
One after another I see them fall, fall, fall down
But we don’t got time for that, so
Don’t don’t don’t don’t don’t knock me
Don't have time to guess, don't fall, don't knock me

[Outro]
Don't knock, don't knock, don't knock me down
Don't knock, don't knock, don't knock me down
As the world falls apart I try to keep it together for a while
So don't knock, don't knock me down
They don't know you have to go around
Enough to carry in my heart
So don't knock, don't knock, don't knock, don't knock, don't knock
Don't knock me down
Don't knock, don't knock, don't knock me down
