[Intro] [Verse 1] Who can it be knocking at my door? Go 'way, don't come 'round here no more Can't you see that it's late at night? I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right All I wish is to be alone; Stay away, don't you invade my home Best off if you hang outside Don't come in, I'll only run and hide [Chorus] Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? [Verse 2] Who can it be knocking at my door? Make no sound, tip-toe across the floor If he hears, he'll knock all day I'll be trapped, and here I'll have to stay I've done no harm, I keep to myself; There's nothing wrong with my state of mental health I like it here with my childhood friend; Here they come, those feelings again! [Chorus] Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? [Post-Chorus] Is it the man come to take me away? Why do they follow me? It's not the future that I can see It's just my fantasy Yeah! [Bridge] [Chorus] Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Who can it be now? Oh, who can it be now? Oh, who can it, who can it Yeah yeah yeah Oh, oah... [Outro]
