Can you hear me knockin' babe
Yeah I'm knockin' on your back door
Can't you hear me knockin' babe
Yeah, I don't wanna fight no more
Cause when the morning come around
I'll be a dead man on the ground
Sometimes it just doesn't pay to get out of bed
There I was, just minding my own biz
When I heard a couple of guys talking trash about my girl
So of course I had to do something about it
Can you hear me calling babe
I'm telling that I love you so
Can't you hear me now babe
Please don't ever let me go
Cause when the morning come around
I'll be a dead man on the ground
So I walk up to these guys, and I'm like what's going on fellas, you know
Pretending I don't already know what they're talking about
But I know
They tell me there's this girl, my girl, and how she's loose
Well I lost it
I'm in a lot of trouble girl
I've gone and done something wrong
Well your name was thrown around girl
Fist and face didn't get along
Cause when the morning come around
I'll be a dead man on the ground
So I did what any man would do and I defended my girl's honor
One way or another
Well, sometimes I don't know my own strength
Needless to say, he's on the ground
And he might be dead
So I took off, well
Need a place to hide now
Please forget our past wars
I'm a wanted man, girl
Let me in, I'm at your door
Cause when the morning come around
I'll be a dead man on the ground
Yeah
