Graham Parker Back Door Love lyrics

I've waited all night, jumped all the red lights
Dodged all the turnpikes, took all the wrong rights
I pulled up outside, made the cat run down the street
Washing line hung with sheets
The night was dark and sweet, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's just a back door love
It's just a back door love
Back door loving, let nobody shut it out
No one shut it out

Hey, when you touch me, baby, my treble sounds a little louder
My bass booms a lot brighter, my rhythm rocks a little tighter
Oh, and I may be wrong to keep the back door love this way
The only reason I'm hanging on
To keep the front door folks away, oh, oh, oh, oh

She give me back door love
She give me back door love
Back door loving, let nobody shut it out
I'm going to knock, knock on her back door


Oh, and I don't even know if it's right, oh yeah
But I just feel real nice when you say you'll hold me tight
Oh yeah, la, la, la, la, la, la
Hey, hey yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh yeah

She give me back door love
Got to give me back door love
Hey, hey yeah

Back door loving, let nobody shut it
Back door loving, let nobody shut it
Back door loving, let nobody shut it out
Don't shut it out, don't shut it out, baby

Don't shut it out
Lordie, Lordie, Lordie, Lordie
Don't shut it out
Lordie, Lordie, Lordie, Lordie
