Front Door Man

Front Door Man

i rang and rang his front door bell
it rang and rang for a long, long spell
he looked out the window
he opened up the door and said
what are you doing back here for
what are you doing?

i said, i´ve been to the east,
i´ve been to the west
i´ve been looking all over for the one who´s best
i´ve been to california, ´been to tennessee
now i´m back here to tell you
you´re the one for me
you´re the one

i´ve had my fingers in many a pie
baby, baby, i will not lie
i've been searchin' and searchin'
my whole life long
now i´m back at your front door
where i belong
oh, where i belong
where i belong

he said, why should i let you in
i haven´t heard that phone ring
since i don't know when
i guess you thought i´d just sit and wait
well, i hate to tell you baby you´re a little late
a little late

i've got a woman who's gentle and true
i'm here to tell you she ain't you
i remember you from times before
now you need to get away from my front door
get away

i got down on my knees and began to cry
if you send me away i know i'll die
i wanna stop lookin' stop keepin' score
don't you send me away from your front door
don't do it
no don't do it

won't you let me explain, let me state my case
then he slammed that door right in my face
now there's one thing i know, one thing's for sure
i'll never get back in his front door
no i'll never

now the moral of the story, the meaning of the song
there's places you can go and places you belong
no matter how behind looks better than before
you can't go back to no front door
no, you can't go back
no, you can't go back
you can't go back to no front door
