I don't want to lose this good thing that I've got

If I do, I would surely, surely lose a lot

Think I'd better knock on wood baby

You got me spinning baby, baby I'm in a trance

Ain't no secret that woman is my loving cup

She sees to it that I get it up
         A7                                            A7[*]
Just one touch from her, you know can do so much

Think I'd better knock on wood baby

Oh yeah, think I better knock, knock, knock on wood

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
                E               A7
Think I better knock, knock on wood
                E                     A7

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood...
