How Many Times Must I Knock

Look to the sea, oh yeah

And you will find, alright

Just ask what you want now

You shall be given, yeah-yeah

Tell me, baby

What's the combination, alright

How many times must I knock

To open the door to your heart, heart, heart?

If you really love me (Love me)

Why don't you tell me so? (Tell me)

Daddy really needs you, baby

Yes, I'd like to know

This old waiting

Is tearing me apart

How many times must I knock

To open the door to your heart, heart, heart?

Tried everything in the book

But that didn't work at all

I spent the very last dime I had

I spent it on a telephone call

I wrote you a ten page letter

And you didn't read it at all

One thing I wanna tell you, my friend

Every road must come to an end

Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

Oh yeah (Oh yeah)

Oh yeah yeah

I got to keep on trying

To make my dream come true

I'll do anything on God's green earth

I gotta get next to you

I love you, alright now

I loved you from the start

But how many times must I knock

To open the door to your heart, heart, heart?

Alright, alright

(Alright, alright, gotta keep on trying)

Alright, I got to keep on

(Gotta keep on trying)

I got to, I got to, got to, got to keep on

(I gotta keep on trying)
