[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
 
[Verse 1]
I don't hear your knock upon my door
I don't have your lovin' anymore
Since you been gone I'm a-hurtin' inside
Well, I want you, baby, by my side, yeah
I'm cryin', I'm cryin'
Hear me cryin', baby
Hear me cryin'
 
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
 
[Verse 2]
I'm lonely and blue, baby, every night
Yeah, you know you didn't treat me right
And now my tears begin to fall
Well, I want you, baby, and that's all
I'm cryin', I'm cryin'
Hear me cryin', baby
Hear me cryin'
Hear me cryin'
 
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
 
[Verse 3]
I don't hear your knock upon my door
I don't have your lovin' anymore
Since you been gone I'm hurtin' inside, yeah
Well, I want you, baby, by my side
But I'm cryin', you know I'm cryin'
Hear me cryin', baby
Hear me cryin'
Hear me cryin'
 
[Chorus]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah!
