When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart

Ooo here I am alone, thinkin' aimlesslySeein' other girls in love & wishin' it were meIf I could only find the key & make love come my wayI would trade this loneliness for true love any dayWhen love comes knockin' at my heartI'm surely gonna let it inWhen love comes knockin' at my heartHappiness will surely beginOh darlin', Oh darlin'Oh darlin', Oh darlin'Emptiness is in the air & all around me gloomAs I gaze through the window of my lonely roomI hate to get up in the mornin' 'cause I know what lies aheadWhere there should be a cheerful smile, there's loneliness insteadWhen love comes knockin' at my heartI'm surely gonna let it inWhen love comes knockin' at my heartHappiness will surely beginOh if you've never been in love, darlin'Then you're just like me, nowDon't you get lonely? What am I to be?Oh darlin', Oh darlin'Oh darlin', Oh darlin'Oh darlin', Oh darlin'Oh darlin', Oh darlin'My heart's full of envy for the girl who lives next doorShe has so many things that I've never had beforeShe possesses one thing I've never had a chance to getThat's someone to call her own & there's one thing you can betWhen love comes knockin' at my heartI'm surely gonna let it inWhen love comes knockin' at my heartHappiness will surely beginOh darlin', Oh darlin'Oh darlin', Oh darlin'When love comes, I'm gonna let it inBecause I know I'll be happy thenLoneliness will be no moreWhen love comes, gonna open that doorWhen love comes, when love comesOh darlin', when love comes[...& fade]
