don't want to lose you
This good thing, that I got
'Cause if I do, I will surely
Surely lose a lot

'Cause your love, is better
than any love I know
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
You better knock, knock,
on wood, baby, baby

I'm not superstitious, about ya
But I can't take no chance
You got me spinnin', baby
You know I'm in a trance

'Cause your love, is better
than any love I know
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightenin'
You better knock, knock, knock
on wood, baby, baby

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock

It's no secret, about it
'Cause with his lovin' touch
He sees, to it
That I get enough

With his touch, all over
you know it means so much
It's like thunder, and lightnin'
The way you love me is frightenin'
You better knock, knock, knock
on wood, baby, baby

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
