What If I Came Knocking - Lyrics by John Mellencamp


Lyrics
What if I came knocking
On your front door some night? Would you open the window
And drop me down the key? What if I came knocking
On your bedpost that same night? Would you open up your heart
Or try to get the best of me? What if I came knocking
On your brain the next day
And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty? Would you build up your big walls
And try to hide behind that smile
Or would you try to pull the wool right over me? So what if I came knocking? So what if I came knocking? So what if I came kicking
And it scared you a little bit
And I came on strong
Would you think
That there's something wrong with me? Or could it be your fears
Of trying something real
Or just afraid to touch
A guy like me? What if I came knocking? What if I came knocking? What if I came knocking
On your front door some night? ahh
So let's just say it worked out
Like a storybook dream
And we lived happily ever after
Fa la la la
But what if I came crying
After just a few weeks
And said I misread my heart
This is not really meant to be? yeah
So if you hear some knocking
On your window tonight
You can bet that it's probably me
But let it be known
That we're just a pair of tumbling dice
And the outcome of these crap shoots
Is hard to see
So what if I came knocking? So what if I came knocking? So what if I came knocking
On your front door tonight? ahh
So what if I came knocking? Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knocking
Kick, kick, kick
What if I came knocking
On your front porch tonight, tonight?
