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

Ooo here I am alone, thinkin' aimlessly
Seein' other girls in love and wishin' it were me
If I could only find the key and 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'

Emptiness is in the air and 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
you're just like me baby
Don't you get lonely? what am I to be?
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
One thing she possesses one thing I've never had a chance to get
And that's someone to call her own and 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'

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
Oh darlin', when love comes
