Drop Me A Line
The Sly Caps Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

you know I've got your number
and you know you've got mine
I was wondering if sometime
you could drop me a line.

I see you everyday and I fall
and I wonder am I gonna get that call
I'm home all the time,

please drop me a line

I long to hear your voice on the phone
everday when I get home
I'm home all the time
drop me a line

drop me a line
drop me a line

I see you everday and I fall
and I wonder if I'm gonna get that call
I'm home all the time please
drop me a line

everyday I think of you
what I'm saying is so true
home all the time
drop me a line

drop me a line
drop me a line

drop me a line
drop me a line

The opening lines "you know I've got your number and you know you've got mine" indicate that there is an existing connection between the singer and the person they are addressing. However, the singer is waiting for the other person to make a move and reach out to them. They see the person every day and are constantly falling for them, but they never receive the call they long for. The repetition of "drop me a line" throughout the song highlights the intensity of the desire for communication.

The lyrics are simple and straightforward, but they convey a universal feeling that is relatable to anyone who has experienced unrequited love or the longing for connection.
