hey girl whatcha doin down there
dancing 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

chorus
Oh my darlin
knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
mmmm twice on the pipe if the answer is no
oh my sweetness
means you’ll meet me in the hallway
oh twice on the pipe means you ain’t gonna show

if you look out your window tonight
pulling the string with the note thats 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 apart

chorus
Oh my darlin
knock three times on the ceiling if you want me
mmmm twice on the pipe if the answer is no
oh my sweetness
means you’ll meet me in the hallway
oh twice on the pipe means you ain’t gonna show

oh i can hear the music playing
i can feel your body swayin
one floor below me you don’t even know me
i love you

chorus
Oh my darlin
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
