[English]

The door closes at twelve

Please hurry up a bit

Knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

At night inside my mind

The door opens up

I need somebody (Someone else!)

You keep lingering around

Taking a sneak peek

Knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Probably another playboy

Obviously just a bad boy

I need some assurance (Knock knock!)

Knock on my heart and open it up

Knock hard Bam! Bam! One more time Bam! Bam!

Baby, knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock

It won’t be so easy to open it up

Come again tomorrow and the day after

I will be ready and waiting

Baby, knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock

Wanna keep hearing it again

Knock on my door

No need for that gold key or get lucky

If you truly mean it everything’s gonna be okay

Oh no, you’re already here, could you please wait a moment

You pop in when I am alone

Shake me right out of my mind

Now is the perfect show time (make it yours!)

Dang Dang when the clock strikes, would you come to me

Turn round round will only make you fall asleep

Knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Come in, come in, come in baby, take my hands

Knock on my heart and open it up

Knock hard Bam! Bam! One more time Bam! Bam!

Baby, knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock

It won’t be so easy to open it up

Come again tomorrow and the day after

I will be ready and waiting

Baby, knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock

Wanna keep hearing it again

Knock on my door

Hey, hey

After all this time

My frozen heart will, my my heart will

Melt away like an ice cream

Come knock on my door

Knock on my heart and open it up

Knock hard Bam! Bam! One more time Bam! Bam!

Baby, knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock

It won’t be so easy to open it up

Come again tomorrow and the day after

I will be ready and waiting

Baby, knock knock knock knock, knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock

Wanna keep hearing it again

Knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock on my door

I’m freakin’ freakin’ out, freakin’ out out, knock knock

Knock knock knock knock on my door

Knock knock knock knock knock on my door
