What if I came knocking
|
On your front door some night?
|
Would you open the window
|
And drop me down the key?
|
What if I came knocking
|
On your bedpost that same night?
|
Would you open up your heart
|
Or try to get the best of me?
|
|
What if I came knocking
|
On your brain the next day
|
And ask for your truth and your love and your honesty?
|
Would you build up your big walls
|
And try to hide behind that smile
|
Or would you try to pull the wool right over me?
|
|
So what if I came knocking?
|
So what if I came knocking?
|
So what if I came kicking
|
And it scared you a little bit,
|
And I came on strong
|
Would you think
|
That there's something wrong with me?
|
Or could it be your fears
|
Of trying something real
|
Or just afraid to touch
|
A guy like me?
|
|
What if I came knocking?
|
What if I came knocking?
|
What if I came knocking
|
On your front door some night? Ahh
|
|
So let's just say it worked out
|
Like a storybook dream
|
And we lived happily ever after.
|
Fa la la la.
|
But what if I came crying
|
After just a few weeks
|
And said I misread my heart,
|
This is not really meant to be? yeah
|
|
So if you hear some knocking
|
On your window tonight
|
You can bet that it's probably me.
|
But let it be known
|
That we're just a pair of tumbling dice
|
And the outcome of these crap shoots
|
Is hard to see.
|
|
So what if I came knocking?
|
So what if I came knocking?
|
So what if I came knocking
|
On your front door tonight? Ahh
|
So what if I came knocking?
|
Knock, knock, knock, knock, knock, knocking
|
Kick, kick, kick
|
What if I came knocking
|
On your front porch tonight, tonight?
