What If I Cam Knocking Lyrics

Written by: John Mellencamp 

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?
