Lucky Dube - Keep On Knocking

She wrote me a letter
In the early days of December
Saying she wasn't happy where she was
Oh, that's the bad news, yeah
That is why today I'm here
To take her away from you
Every time you treat her badly
It brings back memories and
We don't want to see her
Go through hurt again

Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
She's my mother, you know
She's my mother, you know

Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
She's my mother, you know
She's my mother, you know

(..)

If she was a bad mother
She would have thrown us away
Long time ago
Even when things got bad
She still held onto us all the way
When she cries, we cry too
When she smiles, we smile too
We were happy all this time
Until you came along
Every time you treat her badly
It brings back memories and
We don't want to see her
Go through hurt again

Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
She's my mother, you know
She's my mother, you know

Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
Keep on knocking but you can't come in, now
She's my mother, you know..
