[Spoken Intro]
Hey, yo, Mo, open up the door, man

Open the door man, I'm sorry, man

[Verse 1: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
It's funny how the tables turn
Now it's you running after me (Uh)
Didn't wanna spend quality time
Didn't think I would ever leave (Woo)
You got way too comfortable (Oh)
Now you say you want me in your life (Uh)
'Cause I've packed up all my shh (Woo)

So don't you, knock knock knock
Stop knockin' (Stop knockin')

[Verse 2: Monica & (Missy Elliott)]
Boy, it's a dangerous game
To try and play a chick like me (Uh)
Wanna go out and do ya thing
I'll be out 'fore you count to three
So do just what you want
Any time that you really like
I put a payment on my place
You'll be sleeping alone tonight

[Verse 3: Monica & {Missy Elliott}]
I used to be "So Gone"
You were someone I could lean on
My life support system
And I thought I couldn't breathe, uh-uh
When you used to leave, yup yup (Yeah) {Oh}
I see you got your clean one
Big chains, gold teeth and your gleam on
All night, wanna be gone
Wanna tell me stay home like I got a uhh ring on {Woo}
Now you say I'm not your wife, right right {Uh}
So why should I be chillin', goodnight goodnight {Uh}
Now pack up my things for a flight {Oh}
I got a place and it's fixed up nice {Come on}
So don't come knockin' at my door {Yeah!}
I got company coming 'round four {Uh-uh}
So, whoa, heh-heh, yeah {Ooh}

[Chorus: Monica & {Missy Elliott}]
I don't want you calling me no mo'
Knock knock knock {Oh}
Stop knockin', don't come knockin' on my door
(Ring ring ring) Ring ring ring
Let the phone stop (Please, won't it stop)
I don't want you calling me no mo'
Don't come knockin' on my door {Uh-huh, so, so}
Don't come knockin' on my door
Ooh, ooh, uhh, ooh-ooh, uhh
Don't come knockin' on my door

Don't come knockin' on my door
Ooh-ooh, uh (Changed my locks) ooh-uh (To my crib)
Don't come knockin' on my door, oh (Can't come in, oh) Oh
I don't want you calling me no mo'
Don't come knockin' on my door (Changed my locks, to my crib)
Don't come knockin' on my door (Can't come in, uh) Ooh
I don't want you calling me no mo'

[Outro: Monica & Missy Elliott]
Hey, this Monica, leave a number after the beep
Hey, yo, Mo, pick up the phone, man
This old raggedy cell phone sounding like an old alarm clock, old switchboard line phone. Do you even have call waiting on this joint, man? Call me back, man, you're late for the studio. Dismissed
