When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart - Marvin Gaye, Tammi Terrell

Ooo here I am alone, thinkin' aimlessly

Seein' other girls in love & wishin' it were me

If I could only find the key & make love come my way

I would trade this loneliness for true love any day

When love comes knockin' at my heart

I’m surely gonna let it in

When love comes knockin' at my heart

Happiness will surely begin

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

Emptiness is in the air & all around me gloom

As I gaze through the window of my lonely room

I hate to get up in the mornin' 'cause I know what lies ahead

Where there should be a cheerful smile, there’s loneliness instead

When love comes knockin' at my heart

I’m surely gonna let it in

When love comes knockin' at my heart

Happiness will surely begin

Oh if you’ve never been in love, darlin'

Then you’re just like me, now

Don’t you get lonely?

What am I to be?

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

My heart’s full of envy for the girl who lives next door

She has so many things that I’ve never had before

She possesses one thing I’ve never had a chance to get

That’s someone to call her own & there’s one thing you can bet

When love comes knockin' at my heart

I’m surely gonna let it in

When love comes knockin' at my heart

Happiness will surely begin

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

Oh darlin', Oh darlin'

When love comes, I’m gonna let it in

Because I know I’ll be happy then

Loneliness will be no more

When love comes, gonna open that door

When love comes, when love comes

Oh darlin', when love comes
