[Verse 1]
Here I go again
Hear that knocking, won't you let me in?
Only want that same old thing
Yet it's me here ring, ring, ring
[Chorus]
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 2]
Well, you know it's me out here
Can't give up now, let us make that clear
All I've had's the run around
Though I'm barking like some hound
[Chorus]
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 3]
My life's been so many ways
Too much darkness gets me crazed
All around us people fight
Christ, I'm looking for some light
[Chorus]
Inside your love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 4]
I don't have no friends of mine
Who can swing me down that vine
Not much sense in what they do
That is why I'm calling you
[Chorus]
Inside my love, wake up my love and let it in
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
Wake up my love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 5]
Oh I need you, Lord
Oh I need you more
There's this emptiness outside
You know Lord, it drives me wild
I got tired of wrong and right
You can see I need your light
And that's me knocking on your door
And it's you I'm looking for
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
[Outro]
Wake up my love, let it in
I want to love, wake up my love and let it in
I want to love, wake up my love and let it in
Here I go again
Hear that knocking, won't you let me in?
Only want that same old thing
Yet it's me here ring, ring, ring
[Chorus]
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 2]
Well, you know it's me out here
Can't give up now, let us make that clear
All I've had's the run around
Though I'm barking like some hound
[Chorus]
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 3]
My life's been so many ways
Too much darkness gets me crazed
All around us people fight
Christ, I'm looking for some light
[Chorus]
Inside your love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 4]
I don't have no friends of mine
Who can swing me down that vine
Not much sense in what they do
That is why I'm calling you
[Chorus]
Inside my love, wake up my love and let it in
I want your love, wake up my love and let it in
Wake up my love, wake up my love and let it in
[Verse 5]
Oh I need you, Lord
Oh I need you more
There's this emptiness outside
You know Lord, it drives me wild
I got tired of wrong and right
You can see I need your light
And that's me knocking on your door
And it's you I'm looking for
Oh, Lord
Oh, Lord
[Outro]
Wake up my love, let it in
I want to love, wake up my love and let it in
I want to love, wake up my love and let it in
