Songinfo

"Can't You Hear Me Knocking" is a song by English rock band the Rolling Stones from their 1971 album Sticky Fingers. The entire track was captured in one take, with the jam being a happy accident; the band had assumed the tape machine had been stopped, and were surprised to find the entire session had been captured. Originally they were going to end the song before the jam started, but were so pleased with the jam that they decided to keep it in. Besides the regular Rolling Stones members Mick Jagger (vocals), Keith Richards (guitar, backing vocals), Mick Taylor (guitar), Charlie Watts (drums) and Bill Wyman (bass), the track also features conga player Rocky Dijon, saxophonist Bobby Keys, organist Billy Preston and additional percussion by producer Jimmy Miller.

Lyrics

Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed freak jive, now
Can't you hear me knockin'
On your window?
Can't you hear me knockin'
On your door?
Can't you hear me knockin'
Down your dirty street?
Yeah
Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
Help me, baby, ain't no stranger
Can't you hear me knockin'?
Ahh, are you safe asleep?
Can't you hear me knockin'?
Yeah, down the gas light street, now
Can't you hear me knockin'?
Yeah, throw me down the keys
Alright now
Hear me ringin' big bell tolls
Hear me singin' soft and low
I've been beggin' on my knees
I've been kickin', help me, please
Hear me prowlin'
I'm gonna take you down
Hear me growlin'
Yeah, I've got flat-ten feet now, now, now, now
Hear me howlin'
And all, all around your street now
Hear me knockin'
And all, all around your town
