[Verse 1]
Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive

[Chorus]
Can't you hear me knocking on your window
Can't you hear me knocking on your door
Can't you hear me knocking down your dirty street
Can't you hear me knocking
Help me, baby, I ain't no stranger
Help me, baby, I ain't no stranger
Help me, baby, I ain't no stranger

[Verse 2]
(Can't you hear me knocking)
Are you safe asleep?
(Can't you hear me knocking)
Yeah, down your gas light street, now, now
(Can't you hear me knocking)
Throw me down the keys
(Can't you hear me knocking)

[Outro]
Hear me ringing big bell tolls
Hear me singing soft and low
I've been begging on my knees
I've been kicking, help me please
Hear me prowling
I'm gonna take you down
Hear me growling
Yeah, I've got flat feet now, now
Hear me howling
And all around your street now
Hear me knocking
Ooh, all around your town
