Lyrics:
If my love won't pull you up
And my kisses won't check your stuff
Don't be afraid to let me know
'Bout other places, baby, that I can go

If you don't like it, don't knock it
Somebody help, and don't rock it
If you don't need it, don't waste it
Somebody help, and don't erase it

Oh baby, oh baby
It's for real, don't turn you on
And my will is much too strong
Don't waste my time with your foolish ways
I've got other things to do with my days

Goin' up, movin' down
Goin' up, all the way around town
Up for once that turn you on
I'm the same one to leave you alone
Don't knock my love, don't knock my love
Don't knock my love, baby, don't knock my love
Good goin', fine, it's all right
Don't knock my love, don't knock my love
