I'll Come Knockin'
Love's Timeless Promise: I'll Come Knockin' at Your Door
Lyrics
When you want me
Expresses readiness to respond when needed
I'll come knockin'
Commitment to visit or approach
At your door
Indicates the destination of the visit
At your door
Reiteration of the intended visit
One of these days now
Anticipating a future time of enjoyment
You'll be rockin'
Implies a joyful state or celebration
You'll be rockin'
Reiteration of the expected joy
In my arms once more
Desire for close physical contact
Buddy I'm late again
Repeated expression of being late, suggesting a recurring issue
I'm late again
-I'm late again
-Show me a wonder
Request to witness something extraordinary
That you can't be sure of
Highlighting uncertainty or unpredictability
Now it's wait again
Repeated mention of waiting, indicating a sense of longing
It's wait again
-It's wait again
-Show me a picture
Request to see an image of a loved one
Of the one you love
Reiteration of the request for a visual representation of love
When you want me
Repetition of the commitment to visit and the anticipation of reunion
I'll come knockin'
-At your door
-At your door
-One of these days now
-You'll be rockin'
-You'll be rockin'
-In my arms once more
-But it was christmas time
Chronological reference to different times, possibly reflecting the passing of seasons and the regret of missed opportunities
It was easter time
-It was summer time
-Sail away, sail away
-To your daddy's garden
-Now it's winter time
-It's winter time
-It's winter time
-And it's much too late
-To ask your pardon
-When you want me
Reiteration of the commitment to visit and the anticipation of joyous moments
I'll come knockin'
-At your door
-At your door
-One of these days now
-You'll be rockin'
-You'll be rockin'
-In my arms once more
