What If I Came Knocking Lyrics - Mellencamp John Cougar

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 and 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? 

CHORUS 

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 ment 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?
