[Intro: Rudolph Isley]
Elaine, this is Rudolph out here
If you don't come out tonight

[Verse 1: Rudolph Isley]
I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight while the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
I'm gonna knock on your door, call out your name
Wake up the town, you see
I'm gonna hoot and howl like the lovesick owl
Until you say you're goin' out with me

[Bridge: Rudolph Isley]
Hey little girl, this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
How can I hold you near
With you up there, and me down here?

[Verse 2: Rudolph Isley]
I'm gonna knock on your door, ring at your bell
Wake up the town, you see
If you don't come out tonight while the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Rudolph Isley]
Hey, little girl, this ain't no time to sleep
Let's count kisses 'stead of countin' sheep
How, how can I hold you near
With you up there and me down here?

[Verse 3: Rudolph Isley]
I'm gonna knock on your door, ring on your bell
Tap on your window too
If you don't come out tonight while the moon is bright
I'm gonna knock and ring and tap until you do

[Outro: The Isley Brothers & Rudolph Isley]
(I'm gonna) I'll knock and ring and tap until you do
(Elaine, you hear me? I'm gonna)
I'll knock and ring and tap until you do
(I'm gonna keep knocking on your door)
I'll knock and ring and tap until you do
(You better come on out here, I'm gonna)
I'll knock and ring and tap until you do
(No matter what you do)
