Lyrics

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 youOh, 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
Mmm, twice on the pipe means you ain’t gonna showIf 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
And only in my dreams did that wall between us come apartOh, 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 showRead how many times I saw you
How in my silence I adored you
And only in my dreams did that wall between us come apartOh, 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
Mmm, twice on the pipe means you ain’t gonna show
