Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bend down low
Let me tell you what I know now
Bend down low
Let me tell you what I know
[Verse 2]
Row, fisherman row
Ooh-ooh
You reap what you sow now
Ooh-ooh
Oh, tell you all I know
Ooh-ooh
You've got to let me go now
Ooh-ooh
And all you've got to do
[Verse 3]
Bend down low
Oh yeah
Let me tell you what I know
You bend down low
Let me tell you what I know now
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah
Keep on knockin', but you can't come in
I get to understand you been livin' in sin
But if you love me, woman, walk right in
I've got a notch for your safety pin
But bend down low
[Verse 5]
Keep on knockin', but you can't come in
I get to understand you been livin' in sin
But walk right in, woman, sit right down
I will keep on loving you, I will play the clown
But bend down low
[Verse 6]
Let me tell you what I know
Bend down low, baby
Let me tell you what I know, yeah
[Verse 7]
Let me tell you, baby
Let me tell
Knock on, baby
I just won't let you in
You've been living in sin
Knock on
Knock on babe
I hear you, but
