JOHN MELLENCAMP - What If I Came Knocking lyrics

rate me

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