Lyrics

Liza Johnson and her man
Had a falling out
He said, "Get someone else if you can
I'm gone without a doubt"
Things got tough and he came back
Last night at nine o'clock
He turned his key in the old front door
But the key wouldn't fit the lock
He pushed it in and turned it 'round
And 'round and took it out
And just as he was 'bout to try again
He heard Miss Liza shout:
You got the right key but the wrong keyhole
I couldn't get along with you to save my soul
Yesterday I went down to the hardware store
And put another lock on my front door
I've got a new man who is better than you
He starts his loving where you get through
So take my tip, honey: leave my door
Because your key don't fit in my lock no more
I say you got the right key
But you're working on the wrong keyhole
I've got a new man who is better than you
He starts his loving where you get through
So take my tip, honey: leave my door
Because your key don't fit in my lock no more
I say you got the right key
But you're working on the wrong keyhole
