Back Door Key

Lyrics transcript

Reviewed lyrics for Back Door Key.

I've Been Standing At Your Back Door With my

hat pulled down I've been standing at your back

door With my hat pulled down You got the

chain on the inside But I still come around

Your man left early My luck came late Your

man left early My luck came late Now I'm

on your porch, baby

Trying to negotiate Give me that backdoor key, give

me that backdoor key, give me that backdoor key,

I won't make no scene, I won't make no

scene. Give me that backdoor key, give me that

backdoor key, backdoor key.

You got a red dirt rug And a blue

glass ashtray You got a red dirt rug And

a blue glass ashtray I can read that cold

look Like a bill I can't pay

Your window got a curtain Your mama got a

frat Your window got a curtain, your mama got

a prayer But I hear your little footsteps

On them tired old stairs

You say, come back tomorrow I say, baby, not

tonight You say, come back tomorrow I say, baby,

not tonight I've been hurt so many times I

find how to act polite Give me that back,

back door key, give me that back door key,

I won't make no scene, I won't make no

scene, give me that back door key, give me

that back door key, back door key.

I got a dime in my pocket and a

sore old pride I got a dime in my

pocket and a sore old pride If you open

up that latch now, I'll come in quiet side

by side

We can talk in the kitchen or just stand

by the sink We can talk in the kitchen

or just stand by the sink But if you

keep that door locked, baby I'm gonna make you

think

Give me that backdoor key Give me that backdoor

key I won't make no scene

Give me that backdoor key

Don't leave me on the outside

Leave me on the cold

Give me that back door key

And let the story roll
