Trouble Boys
Knocking Echoes of Heartbreak: Dave Edmunds' 'Trouble Boys' Tale
Lyrics
You went away and left long time ago
You departed a long time ago
Now your knocking on my door
Now you're seeking entrance to my life again
I hear you knocking
I perceive your attempts to reconnect
But you can't come in
I acknowledge your presence but deny access
I hear you knocking
Again, I acknowledge your presence but insist you return to where you came from
Go back where you been
Go back to the place you've been
I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
I pleaded for you not to leave, but you chose to depart
Now your telling me all your lies
Now you're sharing deceitful statements with me
I hear you knocking
Similar to before, I acknowledge your presence but deny access
But you can't come in
Again, I acknowledge your presence but insist you return to where you came from
I hear you knocking
Once more, acknowledging your presence but refusing entry
Go back where you been
Reiterating the insistence to go back to where you were
You better get back to your used to be
You should return to your past life
Cause your kind of love ain't good for me
Your type of affection or love is detrimental to me
I hear you knocking
Again, acknowledging your presence but denying entry
But you can't come in
Once more, acknowledging your presence but insisting you return to your previous place
I hear you knocking
Yet again, acknowledging your presence but refusing entry
Go back where you been
Emphasizing the need to go back to where you were
I told you way back in '52
I warned you in the year 1952
That I would never go with you
I made it clear in the past that I wouldn’t be involved with you
I hear you knocking
Once more, acknowledging your presence but denying entry
But you can't come in
Again, acknowledging your presence but insisting you return to where you came from
I hear you knocking
Reiterating the insistence to go back to where you were
Go back where you been
Once more, emphasizing the need to return to your previous place
