Lyrics

I got a notion to say what doesn't feel right Got an answer in your story today It gave me a sign that didn't feel right, no So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before I just wanted to know if I could go home Been rambling in day after day And everyone says I don't know So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before Got a notion to say what doesn't feel right I just wanted to know if I could go home So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before So don't knock it, don't knock it So don't knock it, don't knock it So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
