A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Everyday)
- A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Everyday)
"A Love Like Yours (Don't Come Knocking Everyday)" is a 1963 song issued as the b-side to Motown singing group Martha and the Vandellas' hit single, "(Love Is Like A) Heat Wave", released on the Gordy label.
The song, written and produced by Vandellas cohorts, Holland-Dozier-Holland, is a song where a woman praises her lover for loving her after she "broke (his) heart and made (him) blue" saying afterwards "instead of hurting back" telling her he loved her.
The song, while not released as a single, is regarded as a Vandellas/sixties classic with notable covers by Dusty Springfield and Ike and Tina Turner.
