KNOCK THREE TIMES

TONY ORLANDO & DAWN

 

 Hey girl what ya doin' down there

 Dancin' alone every night while I live right above you

 I can hear your music playin'

 I can feel your body swayin'

 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 pipe if the answer is no

 Oh my sweetness

 Means you'll meet me in the hallway

 Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

 If you look out your window tonight

 Pull in 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 pipe if the answer is no

 Oh my sweetness

 Means you'll meet me in the hallway

 Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

 I can hear your music playin'

 I can feel your body swayin'

 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 pipe if the answer is no

 Oh my sweetness

 Means you'll meet me in the hallway

 Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show
