[Verse]

Will you let me in the door,

If I show up unannounced?

Will your eyes still light like they did before,

Or will love be lost, unpronounced?

I been walkin’ down this memory lane,

With a heart that just won’t mend.

I’m scared to knock, scared to see,

How this story’s gonna end

.(Pre-Chorus)

Will you try to run, will you try to hide,

Tell me I got no right to come inside

?(Chorus)

But I really do love you,

Yeah, I really do need you,

I really do miss you —

Baby, I’m your man.

You whisper the truth from behind closed doors,

Then tell me it’s over like a hundred times before.

I can’t keep score of the times you pulled me in,

Got under my skin,

Just to start again

.(Verse 2)

You said goodbye with your lips on mine,

And I still feel that burnin’ brand.

Your love’s like whiskey — smooth and cruel,

It takes my soul in your hand.

I tried movin’ on, I tried lettin’ go,

But your ghost sleeps in my bed.

Every night I swear I hear you call,

Whisperin’ inside my head

.(Pre-Chorus)

Will you turn away, or pull me near,

Tell me what I’m dying to hear

?(Chorus)

‘Cause I really do love you,

Yeah, I really do need you,

I really do miss you —

Baby, I’m your man.

You tell me it all from behind closed doors,

Then you shut me out and I’m left wantin’ more.

I can’t keep score of the pain you bring,

Still I come back again,

Yeah, I come back again

.(Bridge – slow, smoky)

Maybe I’m just a fool standin’ here in the rain,

Beggin’ love to let me in again.

Your shadow dances where my heart once stayed,

And I keep payin’ dues love already paid

.(Final Chorus – soulful, raw)

But I really do love you,

I really do need you,

I really do miss you —

Baby, I’m still your man.

You tell me it all from behind closed doors,

But I ain’t that fool you used to ignore.

If there’s still love, don’t make me beg again —

Just open that door,

Let your man come inYeah, let your man come in...

One last time... behind closed doors.
