When Love Comes Knocking At My Heart Lyrics


[TT:] 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[Both:] 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
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'[MG:] 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
[Both:] 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[MG:] Oh if you've never been in love, darlin'
Then you're just like me, now
[TT:] Don't you get lonely? What am I to be?

Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'[TT:] My heart's full of envy for the girl who lives next door
She has so many things that I've never had before
[MG:] 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
[Both:] 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
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'
[TT:] Oh darlin', [MG:] Oh darlin'[TT:] 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

Tammi Terrell began recording for Scepter/Wand Records at the age of 15, before touring with the James Brown Revue for a year. Terrell's talents won her a contract with Motown Records in Detroit, Michigan later that year, at which time she changed her stage name to Tammi Terrell (contrary to popular belief, Terrell did not marry boxer Ernie Terrell, brother of future Supremes lead singer Jean Terrell).
