Knock Three Times

(album: You're My Man - 1971)

Hey boy, what ya doing down there?
Dancing alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playing
I can see your body swaying
One floor below me
You don't even know me
I love you

Oh, my darling
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipes
If the answer is no
Oh, my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipes
Means you ain't gonna show

If you look out your window tonight
Pulling the string with the note
That's attached to my heart
Read how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
Only in my dreams did that wall
Between us come apart

Oh, my darling
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipes
If the answer is no
Oh, my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipes
Means you ain't gonna show

I can hear the music playing
I can see your body swaying
One floor below me
You don't even know me

Oh, my darling
Knock three times
On the ceiling if you want me
Twice on the pipes
If the answer is no (I love you, I love you)
Oh, my sweetness
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Twice on the pipes
Means you ain't gonna show
