Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
Somebody knocking
Somebody knocking on my door
Somebody knocking
Somebody knocking on my door
Well, it must be my woman
Coming 'round here for more
Somebody whispers (whispers)
Somebody whispered in my ear
Somebody whispers
Somebody whispered in my ear
Lord, it must be my woman (woman)
Feel her when she's near
Hmm-mmm (ooh-ooh-ooh) she can get right down
(Right down)
Hmm-mmm (ooh-ooh-ooh) she can get right down
(Right down)
Lord, it must be my woman (woman)
Pick me up when I am down
