Knock Three Times Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey girl, whatcha doing down there?
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can hear your music playing
I can feel your body swaying
One floor below me, you don't even know me
I love you
[Chorus]
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Mmm, twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Oh, my sweetness (*knock*, *knock*, *knock*)
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Woh-oh, twice on the pipe (*knock*, *knock*)
Means you ain't gonna show
[Verse 2]
If you look out your window tonight
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
And only in my dreams did that wall between us
Come apart
[Chorus]
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Mmm, twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Woh, my sweetness (*knock*, *knock*, *knock*)
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Woh-oh, twice on the pipe (*knock*, *knock*)
Means you ain't gonna show
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Woh-oh, I can hear the music playing
I can feel your body swaying
One floor below me you don't even know me
I love you
[Chorus]
Oh my darling
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Woh-oh, twice on the pipe if the answer is no
(I love you, I love you, I Love you)
Oh, my sweetness (*knock*, *knock*, *knock*)
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Mmm, twice on the pipe (*knock*, *knock*)
Means you ain't gonna show
[Outro]
Oh my darling
Knock [fade]
