I broke your heart
And I made you blue
Instead of hurting back
You said I love you
That very day you won my heart
And my love for you shall never part

You have such an understanding way
And I appreciate you need what I say
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

Although I treated you bad from the start
Without question you gave me your heart
No, a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

It's the little things you do
Oh, that mean so much
So very, very much
(Consideration), I never knew
That is, until I met you
Believe me

You made my life complete
And I know our love with all of my mind
You can believe going to hold on tight
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

No, a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday

It's the little things you do
That mean so much
So very, very much
(Consideration), no I never knew
That is, until I met you
Believe me

You made my life complete
And I know our love with all of my mind
You can believe going to hold on tight
'Cause a love like yours don't come knock, knock, knock, knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
I said a love like yours, it don't come knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
I said a love like yours, it don't come, it don't come knocking
Knock, knocking everyday
'Cause a love like yours, it don't come knocking
