Santana - Can't You Hear Me Knocking Lyrics






Yeah, you got satin shoes
Yeah, you got plastic boots
Y'all got cocaine eyes
Yeah, you got speed-freak jive

Can't you hear me knockin' on your window
Can't you hear me knockin' on your door
Can't you hear me knockin' down your dirty street, yeah

Help me baby, ain't no stranger
Help me baby, ain't no stranger
Help me baby, ain't no stranger

Can't you hear me knockin', ahh, are you safe asleep?
Can't you hear me knockin', yeah, down the gas light street, now
Can't you hear me knockin', yeah, throw me down the keys
Alright now

Hear me ringing big bell tolls
Hear me singing soft and low
I've been begging on my knees
I've been kickin', help me please
Hear me prowlin'
I'm gonna take you down
Hear me growlin'
Yeah, I've got flatted feet now, now, now, now
Hear me howlin'
And all, all around your street now
Hear me knockin'
And all, all around your town

Santana Can't You Hear Me Knocking Comments
  1. a.... b....

    Chambers Holding It Down Like A BOSS

  2. T.... K....

    A cover that is as dope AF. Love it.

  3. M.... J....

    only Johnny Winter did Stones songs better

  4. F.... D....

    Scott...<3

  5. M.... W....

    Crushin. Like Douglas Smith sez:”Carlos Santana imitating the Rolling Stones imitating Carlos Santana”.
    True that. That’s the heard brought me here. A+ minus that LA overproduction end hit...

  6. M.... B....

    awesome Scott forever , Yeah

  7. B.... I....

    It's good. But the guitar needs to be way scungier. Way way filthier.

  8. H.... G....

    Great song, I loved ♡

  9. L.... ....

    I really like Santana in his own song but this version it's really disappointing, especially the first part and in the second part the magic of Mick Taylor and Bobby Keys is really lost, what a pity

  10. J.... R....

    Fantastic and amazing version of this huge song from the Stones with a big touch of Carlos. The voice of Scott is magic and so is the guitar tone....

  11. N.... L....

    Me encanta mi cd....💗

  12. g.... c....

    Santana is nothing.(Keith Richards it's a legend)

  13. m.... s....

    Latin soul 👑

  14. S.... R....

    sick ass fucking cover brosephs

  15. R.... l....

    Stones sound better the first three minutes but after that it becomes another Santana song.

    R.... l....

    Thats true

  16. D.... F....

    absolutely love the guitar tone, pure maple syrup

  17. R.... A....

    stp with scott weiland came 2 nz in 2011. if I knew that that would be the last time scott weiland came 2 nz I definitely would hav gone. I cant believe he is gone. we hav lost a legend

  18. �.... �....

    К чему бы не прикоснулась рука и ухо Маэстро-то непременно это становится шедевром.

  19. K.... S....

    Excellent! Thanks for sharing!

  20. J.... S....

    I would go as far as saying this is the best cover of any song in my opinion period!!!!!!!!!!!

  21. T.... ....

    Not doubting Santana's talent but Weiland has snorted all the magic he once possessed.

  22. T.... S....

    Probably the best remake of a great song I've ever heard...

  23. N.... ....

    Oh man! This is a killer rendition of the song! Crazy good.

  24. A.... M....

    Carlos can play anything & everything!

  25. c.... g....

    shit compared to the stones

    c.... g....

    easy, do not compared. enjoy both

    c.... g....

    +jaguaron007 Well said, bro. Good on you. Don't bash what you hate, praise what you love.

  26. D.... S....

    Carlos Santana imitating the Rolling Stones imitating Carlos Santana. ..Mick Taylor loved the Latin sounds on the orginal

    D.... S....

    NICE! take care

  27. s.... d....

    Can't you hear me knockin', yeah, throw me down the keys
    Alright now

  28. K.... ....

    This redefines kick-ass...a great combination of musicians, song and performance

  29. f.... ....

    The tone does sound like Joe, but Carlos owns a wha-wha and knows how to use it. I think it's too brief for Joe to have stepped in.

  30. K.... ....

    Scott's the man

  31. s.... ....

    as great as santana is, mick taylor does the solo better

    s.... ....

    could not have said it better...

    s.... ....

    mick taylor??

  32. b.... c....

    this version is nice. but that's kind of the problem with it, isn't it? It's nice. It lacks the crude danger and menace of the Stones version. with out the down and dirty quality-this version comes up as a Bplus. But the vocals are kind of awesome.

    b.... c....

    correct...the vibrato is missing...

  33. C.... M....

    Only Carlos could make this great Rock Song Better than the Original.......God bless Santana

    C.... M....

    it is cool...but...not even close...

  34. H.... ....

    Sticky Fingers > Santana's version

  35. s.... ....

    take the dick out of your ears

  36. a.... b....

    "casi" como MT...

  37. u.... ....

    Stoned and listening to this is better than getting blowjob from ex.

  38. J.... N....

    scott weiland is awesome

    J.... N....

    Chris cornell

    J.... N....

    Yeah Scott forever

    J.... N....

    @Wanderinghead
    Chris with Carlos on this Album-- Amazing. Agreed. Take Good Care

  39. T.... T....

    @GBofOH That wasn't very nice. I am neither.

  40. P.... ....

    Scott Weiland OF STONE TEMPLE PILOTS!!!!!

  41. 0.... ....

    Hahah, well put!!

  42. D.... T....

    This cover is CRAZY GOOD!!!!!

  43. a.... b....

    Santana sera de los mejores, pero el mejor... es Mick Taylor no se le compara

  44. T.... T....

    I know Joe Satriani like I know my own soul... He played a part in the wrap up. Anyone agree?

  45. L.... ....

    wish Santana would do something with Myles Kennedy aswell

    L.... ....

    ya can't always get...

    L.... ....

    @mark hill 😅

  46. k.... ....

    This cover Blows me and leaves me with gasm! :)

  47. J.... S....

    Great cover of this song!

  48. k.... ....

    @emoboi311 he's a great singer - stp were awesome and i'm glad he survived it's breakup and his own personal challenges - gotta agree with others though i think he should have coloured his voice a bit different for this cover (a little rougher like he sang on meatplow or sex type thing)

  49. G.... o....

    @kingswayguitar scott weiland best singer ever

  50. k.... ....

    the wah is a tasty addition to this absolutely CLASSIC song!! glad they did the coda at the end with Santana's Latin vibe - quite fitting

    thumbs up from this Stones fan

  51. T.... ....

    bella canzone

  52. r.... ....

    too slick, I think sometimes when these type songs are remade, they forget what makes them great - that gritty bluesy back alley sound

    r.... ....

    you nailed it...

    r.... ....

    @mark hill
    Agreed! Bless

  53. S.... ....

    I have to say that I was looking forward to Carlos Santana's interpretation maybe my favorite Stones songs, but was totally caught off guard by Scott Weiland's vocals. Wow.

  54. P.... M....

    ...holy shit !

  55. E.... ....

    Dude, This song rocks. I play in a Classic Rock band and I want to get my band to play this song - this way. I love the percussion - very Santana !

  56. a.... ....

    @finnbjerke Scott always does

  57. J.... L....

    whoa.... EARGASM.

  58. M.... M....

    Not to mention a Rolling Stones Classic!

  59. M.... M....

    This is great.. Santana and Scott Weiland its just brilliant!!!!

  60. R.... H....

    Fuckin' Awesome...
    I love Scott Weiland's voice :D

  61. C.... B....

    muy buen disco ya lo compre y esta muy bueno felicidades

  62. c.... ....

    The best of the best...shredddd...me boys.

  63. e.... ....

    I've got everyone of these song's by the original bands. I love the orginal's, but I also like to hear an different interpantation by different artists, thats how we get the verying different sounds from different bands. I just shows how much respect and admiration one artist has for another. Carlos is the man, one of the most respected and loved guitarist around,

  64. J.... ....


    damn !!! is there anything on this that isn't good. i havet'a look this up on wickipedia to find out WTF !!!

    do it again,carlos.

  65. B.... ....

    @Chico5393 Santana has been doing covers since he started. He DID NOT write "Black Magic Woman". That was his biggest hit and he took it from Fleetwood Mac.... So this is not anything out of the ordinary for him to do.

    On another note. I love this song. Scott Weiland adds some great sex appeal to it.

  66. B.... C....

    Great guitar work, and Scott's vocals are awesome as always, but I'm REALLY not feeling some of the backup vocals

  67. h.... ....

    @noobcakeYUM i think the guitar personally gives it the edge this song alwways needed, the stones is still the classic, and the sax does sound sweet, but the guitar in this really amps the whole feeling up

  68. B.... ....

    Fuckin amazing song. Stones are the legacy but damn, Santana & Weiland tore this shit up!!

  69. G.... o....

    hell yeah scott weiland

  70. C.... ....

    Oh Santana, when did you get reduced to doing horribly distasteful wanky pop/rock covers of good classic rock songs? And Scott Weiland is a fantastic vocalist; when he's doing songs for STP, that is.

  71. a.... b....

    me quedo con la interpretacion de Sus Majestades, en especial extraño a Mick Taylor.

  72. J.... I....

    Are the 70' back?? Wake me up!!!
    Put Santan and Lady Gaga to have babies right now !!!

  73. M.... S....

    @bandido23mx a webo cabronn!!

  74. m.... ....

    COCAINE EYES?!?!?!?!?!?!

    m.... ....

    speed freak jives...

  75. D.... B....

    Hell yea Carlos

  76. s.... ....

    wow, pretty cool rock on scott!!1

  77. H.... V....

    viva mexico!

  78. H.... V....

    viva mexico! cab.......

  79. S.... P....

    Scott sounds great on this song!!

  80. d.... ....

    Some of you are forgetting that this is Santana's album.It's supposed to be over the top with his guitar and his style of play.These are his versions of these great songs,Hence the name of the album.

  81. M.... Z....

    Muy buena version y Scott Weiland como lo q s un Rockstar......!!!

  82. A.... T....

    AMAZING GUITAR SOLOING!! AS USUAL SANTANA IS PLAYING BETTER WITH
    THE YEARS!...MUST BE A SMASH HIT AS SUPERNATURAL ALBUM....GREAT!!.

  83. D.... A....

    Best song Santana has done in 30 years

  84. t.... ....

    I like this :D

  85. c.... ....

    Santana is great... doing his own stuff... don't know about this covers.. too much wah pedal on the songs... rather hear the originals... he is just playing on top of the song
    and jamming anyone can do that.

  86. D.... ....

    Can anyone say it?

    L-L-L-L-AAAAAAME!

  87. G.... K....

    love it!

  88. b.... ....

    you want to hear a great cover by Scott Weiland.. Listen to him sing with the Doors....

    b.... ....

    That performance was brilliant! Nice comment. Take Good Care. RockRightOn!
    RIP Scott, Ray, Jim.

  89. j.... ....

    @28mohd i readed the same comment ,in diferent songs of this cd, that tells me what a good f... cd santana put out

  90. G.... ....

    If "anyone" ever did a better cover of this. I haven't heard it. HIt this one out of the park. Great LP. Zepplins cover is in a whole new league also.

  91. g.... ....

    some "mysterious ways" u2 sounds

  92. v.... ....

    Scott is the greatest evah

  93. M.... ....

    Scott is so versatile.......

  94. y.... ....

    HELL YEAH SCOTT WEILAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  95. B.... R....

    this wasn't one of my favourite songs on this album at first. Now, I love it! The instrumental is pure Santana. Another great Santanafied song. Don't compare these "covers" to the orignals. Accept the brlliance and beauty and passion of the songs and the spirit as they breathe new lfe. Music is boundless.

  96. S.... J....

    My favorite Stones tune...yeah I'm feelin' this rendidtion. Weiland was a great choice too.

  97. T.... K....

    @MTZTayko They work with him because it is good promotion for them and good for business, not because Santana makes good music.

  98. M.... ....

    @theachtungtree Another thing, covers pop singles? You need to hear his new songs. They aren't here in Guitar Heaven. Listen to his latest work, it's not POP in any way. Pop is actually low in what he does, most of his songs are latin and cultural songs and instrumentals filled with great energy. That's what people seem to like less, being rock fans, but that's what's good, I know myself. Also, remember this album was not Carlos' idea, it was Clive Davis' idea, and Carlos is close.
