Lyrics[]

[Intro]
Don't go knock my door
Don't go knock my door

[Verse 1]
Time is up, no more cheat and lie
No more tears to dry
You and I, we're like so, "Bye-bye"
Finally, I am over you
Totally un-blue

[Pre-Chorus]
When I can hear myself saying
I am better off without you
Stronger than ever and I
I'm telling you now

[Chorus]
Don't go knockin' on my door
Gotta stay away, for sure
You say you miss me like crazy now
But I ain't buying that
You better get off my back
Don't go knockin' on my door

[Verse 2]
I can see, it's no mystery
It's so clear to me, what we had is all history
It's okay, I can sleep at night
It will be alright

[Pre-Chorus]
I can hear myself saying
I am better off without you
Stronger than ever and I
I'm telling you now

[Chorus]
Don't go knockin' on my door (Baby)
Gotta stay away, for sure
You say you miss me like crazy now
But I ain't buying that
You better get off my back
Don't go knockin' on my door (Door)
Gotta stay away, for sure
You say you miss me like crazy now
But I ain't buying that
You better get off my back (Ooh, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge]
Don't go knock my door
Don't go knock my door
Don't go knock my door
Do what you want
As long as you don't come back
Don't go knockin' on my door
Gotta stay away, for sure
And now I ain't buying that
You better get off my back

[Chorus]
Don't go knockin' on my door (Ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Gotta stay away, for sure
You say you miss me like crazy now
But I ain't buying that
You better get off my back
Don't go knockin' on my door (Ooh, yeah)
Don't go knockin' on my door
Gotta stay away, for sure (Gotta stay away, for sure)
You say you miss me like crazy now
But I ain't buying that
You better get off my back
Don't go knockin' on my door
