No it doesn’t.

There is a distinct difference between which verb the subject in question is doing around the singer’s door at any given chorus. The verb corresponds consistently with the noun that the singer doesn’t want to see, IIRC.

So as worded, there is only one answer. The hard part is remembering which is which.

That’s the way it always sounded to me, and this site agrees with me.

As for your :eek:, you’d have to talk to the composer about it. My guess is he wanted a two-syllable word.

[spoiler]Regarding #21:

Don’t come hangin’ around my door
I don’t wanna see your face no more

<or>

Don’t come knockin’ around my door
Don’t wanna see your shadow no more

And yep, she pulled her harpoon out of her dirty red bandana.

Also, Sparky812, thanks for the La Grange answer (though it came to me out of the blue much later when I wasn’t even thinking about this thread).
