Don’t knock my love

Am ~

C Am

1. If my love won't pull you up,

C Am

and my kisses won't check your stuff,

C Am

don't be afraid to let me know,

C Am

'bout other places, baby, that I can go.

C Am

If you don't like it (don’t like it) , don't knock it (don’t knock it),

F Dm G

somebody help (somebody help), and don't rock it ! Oh, don’t rock it !

C Am

If you don't need it (don’t need it), don't waste it (don’t waste it),

F Dm - G Am

somebody help (somebody help) don't erase it, oh baby, oh baby.

C Am

2. It's for real, don't turn you on,

C Am

and my will is much too strong,

C Am

don't waste my time with your foolish ways,

C Am

I've got other things to do with my days.

C Am

If you don't like it (don’t like it) , don't knock it (don’t knock it),

F Dm G

somebody help (somebody help), and don't rock it ! Oh, don’t rock it !

C Am

If you don't need it (don’t need it), don't waste it (don’t waste it),

F Dm - G

somebody help (somebody help) don't erase it !

Am G

Aah ! hey ! Uh Lord, Lord. Aaah !

Am

Goin' up, movin' down,

C Am

goin' up, all the way around town.

C Am

Up for once that turn you on,

C Am

I'm the same one to leave you alone.

C Am

Don't knock my love, don't knock my love !

C Am

Don't knock my love, baby, don't knock my love !

C - Am

Oh ! Good goin', fine, it's all right ….
