[Verse 1]
I don't want to lose this good thing that I've got
'Cause if I do, I would surely, surely loose a lot
'Cause your love is better than any love I know

[Chorus]
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I'd better knock on wood, baby

[Verse 2]
I'm not superstitious about you, but I can't take a chance, no
You got me spinning, baby, spinning in a trance
'Cause your love is better than any love I know

[Chorus]
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I'd better knock on wood

[Verse 3]
It's no secret, that woman is my loving cup
Well, she sees to it that I get enough
Just one touch from her, you know it means so much

[Bridge]
It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I'd better knock on wood, baby
I better knock, knock, knock

[Outro]
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock, knock, knock on wood)
(I better knock)
Knock on wood!

David Bowie

David Bowie (1947 – 2016) was a British musician, and one of the most iconic rock stars with a widely diverse career where he frequently changed his appearance and musical style, resulting in an acclaimed discography comparable to other stalwarts such as The Beatles and Bob Dylan. Born David Robert Jones, Bowie quickly renamed himself to prevent confusion with The Monkees singer Davy Jones. Enduring many early missteps, he rose to prominence when his most famous song, “Space Oddity,” was played during the coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing.

Despite this early breakthrough, Bowie remained a cult figure for several years. Even the release of Hunky Dory, his first great album, went largely unnoticed. Bowie only lodged himself firmly in the public consciousness when he announced his bisexuality and created Ziggy Stardust in early 1972. A Martian who combined the debauchery of Iggy Pop with the artistry of Lou Reed, Ziggy was the main character in Bowie’s breakthrough album, and his public persona for eighteen months.

Bowie used his new-found popularity to move to America, and dabble with new musical directions and cocaine. Diamond Dogs and Young Americans continue to divide critics, but Station To Station found Bowie at a new creative peak, despite escalating drug use and related health issues.
