Knock Knock
D'r Frank Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Knock knock. Who's there? Ivan. Ivan who?
I've been thinking about the way it was before you threw me out
I've been lost and lonely and I've had a lot to think about
And I think I'd rather suffer from within than do without--
Please let me in
Knock knock. Who's there? Yuri. Yuri who?
You remember all the screwy people that you used to know
All the places they invited us that I refused to go

I've decided that I'll let you drag me everywhere and so--
Please let me in

How many blondes does it take
To make me recall all that's at stake?
Two: one to remind me of you, two to remind me of you, too.

Knock knock. Who's there? Dwayne. Dwayne who?
The rain is falling down on me, I'm freezing in the cold
And I'm sorry for the fast ones that you always say I pulled
Hurry up and let me prove it now before we get too old--
Please let me in

Knock knock. Who's there? Sandy. Sandy who?
San Diego and Los Angeles could fall into the sea
But I'd really love the feeling of you falling into me
Is a natural disaster what it takes to make you see?
Please let me in

A ball and chain can be a crutch
Who would have thought I would miss it so much?

So if you're looking for a reason baby please consider these:
I will kiss your hands and hold your lips and get down on your knees

Give you anything you want if you just give me back my keys--
Please let me in.
