Now, I don't want my baby standin' behind closed doors 
No, I don't want my baby standin' behind a closed door 
Now when the door is closed, no one but the Lord above to know 
When I first met you, baby, you was behind a closed door 
When I first met you, baby, you was behind a closed door 
You know I was beggin' and beggin' you, make me a pallet 
on your floor 
Darling, you know I love you, I love you for myself 
Don't want you to fool around and find somebody else 
I don't want you, baby, standing behind closed doors
