LYRICS (elyrics.net)
----------------------------------------------------
I've to get you out of her clutches
I've got to pull you out of your hole
I want to push you over for good
If I could, I would sell my soul
I wish that it were already over
And we could find a place of our own
I wonder will you make it all right
Every night as I sit alone
Knock on my door
Knock on my door
I'll be waiting for you
It hurts me to pretend I don't know you
To pass you with a nod on the street
It hurts me that we're wasting our time
Trying to find a safe place to meet
I wonder how you kept it a secret
I think that I would die if she knew
I wonder what she's going to say
When she finds that I've taken you
Knock on my door
Knock on my door
I'll be waiting for you
Games that two people play for love
Are like any other games in life
Someone loses, someone wins in every round
Knock on my door
Knock on my door
I'll be waiting for you
I've to get you out of her clutches
(Knock on my door)
I want to get your own to myself
(Knock on my door)

Fanny was an American all-female band, active in the early 1970s. They were one of the first notable rock groups to be made up entirely of women, the third to sign with a major label (after Goldie & the Gingerbreads and the Pleasure Seekers), and the first to release an album on a major label (in 1970). They achieved two top 40 singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and released five albums.
Sisters June Millington (born April 14, 1948, Manila, Philippines) and Jean Millington (born May 25, 1949, Manila, Philippines) moved with their family from the Philippines to Sacramento, California in 1961. In high school they formed an all-girl band called the Svelts with June on guitar, Jean on bass, Addie Lee on guitar, and Brie Brandt on drums. Brandt was later replaced by Alice de Buhr (born September 4, 1949, Mason City, Iowa). When the Svelts disbanded, de Buhr and Lee formed another all-female group called Wild Honey. The Millington sisters later joined this band, which played Motown covers and eventually moved to Los Angeles.
In January 1970, Nickey Barcley was asked to join Fanny as a singer and keyboardist. She was one of the main songwriters and lead singers in the group, and appeared on all their albums, adding soul, blues and funk influences to the group's overall sound.
