KNOCK THREE TIMES
(Irwin Levine - Russell L.Brown)
« © '71 Sosaha Music, BMI / Forty West Music, BMI / Irvin Levine Music, BMI »

Hey girl what you're doing down there
Dancing alone every night while I live right above you
I can hear your music playing yeah I can feel your body's swaying
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
Oh twice on the pipes if the answer is no
Oh my sweetness means you meet me in the hallway
Hmm twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

If you look at your window tonight
Pulling the string with the note that's attached to my heart
Count 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
Oh my darling knock three times...

[ fiddle ]
Oh my darling knock three times...
Twice on the pipe means you ain't gonna show

DREAM LOVER
(Bobby Darin)
« © '59 Alley Music, BMI / Trio Music, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI / Screen Gems Music, BMI »

Every night I hope in pray a dream lover will come my way
A girl to hold in my arms and know the magic of her charms
Because I want a girl to call my own
I want a dream lover so I won't have to dream alone

Dream lover where are you with the love oh so true
And the hands that I can hold to feel you near as I grow old
Because I want a girl...

Some day I don't know how I hope she'll hear my plea
Some way I don't know how she'll bring her love to me
Dream lover until then I'll go to sleep and dream again
Have the only thing to do till all my love dreams come true
Because I want a girl...

[ fiddle - steel ]
Dream lover until then...
Because I want a girl to call my own...

DON'T BE ANGRY
(Wade Jackson)

Don't be angry with me darling if I fail to understand
All your little whims and wishes all the time
Just remember that I'm dumb I guess like any foolish man
And my head stays sorta foggy cause you're mine

Well I recall the first time that I flirted with you dear
When I jokingly said come and be my bride
Now the time has turned the pages it's the sweetest joke on earth
That I have you dear forever by my side
Maybe someday you're gonna hurt me I've been hurting of before
Only God can know and time alone will tell
But in the mean time I'll keep loving you with all my heart and soul
And pray God to let it last if it's his will
Don't be angry with me darling...

Girl you know he don't like me very much as it is
And if your daddy knew I was here now this could be my very last kiss
But he'll be in the shower at least a half an hour oh baby
I won't mess your hair I promise I swear now baby

All I wanna do is love you till the water stops running
Darling won't you let me hold you till we hear your daddy coming
Can't you see we're safe now as long as he keeps humming
Oh but we gotta stop girl when the water stops running

[ fiddle ]
He's just singing and splashing I bet he almost done
But making love when there's danger makes making love much more fun
Yes girl I know but don't let go now baby
Just kiss my lips as water drips now baby
All I wanna do is love you...
When the water stops running when the water stops

Sweet Magnolia Blossom lives here in our town
She's the proper kinda lady sleeps with her shades down
Sweet Magnolia I wanna hold ya my sweet Magnolia

Sweet Magnolia Blossom she don't smoke no cigarettes
She's never tasted liquor and she ain't been loved on yet

Last time when she was at the prayer meeting well I siphoned off her gas
And when her car gave out on that country road who came drivin' fast
It was me hee hee hee it was me hee hee hee
It was me Lord the devil that I am

Sweet Magnolia Blossom got a smile upon her face
She let me take her home last night and she joined the human race
Sweet Magnolia I want to hold ya my sweet Magnolia

She's my kind of lady we sleep with our shades down
Sweet Magnolia my sweet Magnolia blossoms late last night
Sweet Magnolia my sweet Magnolia blossoms late last night

(Arthur Alexander)

You ask me to give up the hand of the girl I love
You tell me I'm not the man she's worthy of
But who are you to tell her who to love that's up to her yes and the Lord above
You better move on (you better move on)
Well I know you can buy her fancy clothes and diamond rings
But I believe she's happy with me without those things
Still you beg me oh to set her free but my friend I'm gonna never be
You better move on
I can't blame you of loving her oh but can't you understand man she's my girl yeah
And I Lord I I'm never gonna let her go Lord I Lord I you know that I love her so
Well I think you'd better go now I'm gettin' mighty mad
You'd ask me to give up the only love I've ever had
Maybe I would oh but I love her so I'm never gonna let her go
You better move on (you better move on) you better move on (you better move on)
Oh you better move on (you better move on) you better move on (you better move on)
You better git on (you better move on) yeah

AFRAID I'LL WANT TO LOVE HER ONE MORE TIME
(David Wilkins)
« © '71 Little David Music, BMI »

Don't let my eyes look upon her body if I look at her again I'll lose control
I'll be right back in her arms until the morning
Lord the devil's trying hard to win my soul
Lord help me get up and sneak out in the morning
Before this woman opens up her eyes
She might want to kiss and throw her arms around me again
And I'm afraid I'll want to love her one more time

Lord it never crossed my mind we'd go this far
But her beauty and my hunger combined
Made the door open wider to temptation oh Lord
And I'm afraid I'll want to love her one more time
Lord help me get up...
Yes I'm afraid I'll want to love her one more time
