Can't You Hear Me Knocking

(album: Sticky Fingers - 1971)

Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive now

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, yeah?

Help me baby, ain't no stranger
Help me baby, ain't no stranger
Help me baby, ain't no stranger

Can't you hear me knocking, ah, are you safe asleep?
Can't you hear me knocking, yeah, down the gas light street, now
Can't you hear me knocking, yeah, throw me down the keys
Alright now

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 flatted feet now, now, now, now

Hear me howling
And all, all around your street now
Hear me knocking
And all, all around your town
