Knock Three Times
Love's Secret Code: Knock Three Times
Lyrics
Hey girl what ya doin' down there
Asking the girl what she's doing below.
Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you
Noticing that she dances alone every night while he lives above her.
I can hear your music playin'
Hearing the music she plays.
I can feel your body swayin'
Sensing the movement of her body to the music.
One floor below me you don't even know me
Expressing the physical distance despite being one floor apart.
I love you
Declaring love for the girl.
Oh my darling
Addressing the girl affectionately.
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Requesting her to knock three times on the ceiling if she wants him.
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Indicating two knocks on the pipe as a negative response.
Oh my sweetness
Expressing endearment.
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Suggesting meeting in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
Stating that two knocks on the pipe mean she won't show up.
If you look out your window tonight
Instructing her to look out the window.
Pull in the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Referring to a note attached to his heart via a string.
Read how many times I saw you
Detailing how often he observed her.
How in my silence I adored you
Expressing silent admiration.
Only in my dreams did that wall between us come apart
Imagining the wall between them breaking only in dreams.
Oh my darling
Reiterating affection.
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Requesting three knocks if she wants him.
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Specifying two knocks as a negative response.
Oh my sweetness
Reiterating the sweetness of the relationship.
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Reiterating the plan to meet in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
Repeating that two knocks mean she won't show up.
I can hear your music playin'
Repeating the experience of hearing her music.
I can feel your body swayin'
Reiterating the sensation of her body moving below.
One floor below me you don't even know me
Emphasizing the lack of acquaintance despite the proximity.
I love you
Reiterating love for the girl.
Oh my darling
Affectionately addressing the girl again.
Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
Requesting three knocks for affirmation.
Twice on the pipe if the answer is no
Reiterating two knocks as a negative signal.
Oh my sweetness
Reiterating the sweetness and anticipation of the relationship.
Means you'll meet me in the hallway
Reiterating the plan to meet in the hallway.
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
Repeating that two knocks mean she won't show up.
