LYRICS ONLY:

I don't wanna lose this good thing that I've got.
Cause if I do, I will surely, surely lose a lot.
Cause our love is better than any love I've known.
It's like thunder, lightning, the way you love me is frightening.
I better knock on wood, baby.

I'm not superstitious about you, but I can't take no chance.
       you got me spinning baby, baby I'm in a trance.
Cause your love is better than any love I've known.
It's like thunder, lightning, the way you love me is frightening.
I better knock on wood, baby.


It's no secret but that woman fills my lovin' cup.
Cause she sees to it that I get enough.
Just one touch from her, you know you need so much.
It's like thunder, lightning, the way you love me is frightening.
I better knock on wood,  baby   I better knock (knock knock)


oh yeah, think I better knock (knock knock) on wood
think I better knock (knock knock) on wood
think I better knock (knock knock) on wood
