"When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart" lyrics
"When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart"
(with Tammi Terrell)
Ooh here I am alone, thinkin' aimlessly
Seein' other girls in love and wishin' it were me
If I could only find the key and make love come my way
I would trade this loneliness for true love any day
When love comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surely gonna let it in
When love comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness will surely begin
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
Emptiness is in the air and all around me gloom
As I gaze through the window of my lonely room
I hate to get up in the mornin' 'cause I know what lies ahead
Where there should be a cheerful smile, there's loneliness instead
When love comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surely gonna let it in
When love comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness will surely begin
Oh if you've never been in love, darlin'
Then you're just like me, now
Don't you get lonely? What am I to be?
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
My heart's full of envy for the girl who lives next door
She has so many things that I've never had before
She possesses one thing I've never had a chance to get
That's someone to call her own and there's one thing you can bet
When love comes knockin' at my heart
I'm surely gonna let it in
When love comes knockin' at my heart
Happiness will surely begin
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
Oh darlin'. Oh darlin'
When love comes, I'm gonna let it in
Because I know I'll be happy then
Loneliness will be no more
When love comes, gonna open that door
When love comes, when love comes
Oh darlin', when love comes

Oh, yeah
Her dreams are tumbling, her world is crumbling because of you
Uh, uh
One day you'll hurt her just once too much
And when you...
The Dells - "It's All Up To You" If I knew the words to say
I'd write you a letter
If I had the blues today
You could make me feel better
I tried to be independent but
I know I'm fooling myself
I know I can only be
Just what you...
Eddie Kendricks - "If You Let Me" Baby, I know I blew your mind
Oh, I just kept hangin' 'round you
I thought you needed me near, oh yes I did now
Thought someday we'd settle down, oh yeah
Try to run my game on you - no baby, no no...
