What is the title to this Beatles’ song, and on which Beatles’ album\* does it appear?  
(\*album means collection, even a CD is an album, folks)

(Here is my rough memory of the actual lyrics)  
“This happened once before  
I came to your door  
No reply  
They said you were not home  
But I saw you peeking through  
Your window  
And, that’s a lie…”

Many thanks, Beatles fans!

The title is (surprisingly) ‘No Reply’ and it can be found on the album ‘Beatles For Sale’.
