Thread Name: Songs & Rhymes About Knocking
Subject: RE: Songs & Rhymes About Knocking
Hello, Joyce.

Thanks for sharing your song. I'm sorry I don't live near Rhode Island to hear you perform it.

I'd love to know how it sounds (After reading it the first time, I made up a tune and was singing it that way to myself.)

And I absolutely don't want to knock your song, but I was thinking to myself why she wants to go back with that jerk who hears her singing & knocking on his door and he won't open the door after the first line or so.

Then I thought to myself "she shouldn't have gotten mad and thrown the key to his house in his face".

I could write the whole story-been there done that, except for the knocking on the door and singing in the rain-the rain being one of my additions to the story. Not that it was raining when I asked some jerk to take me back. It's just that it rains a lot in Pittsburgh so I can identify with it being rainy and her crying while she sang. Not that I ever did any of that mind you. It's just that I can identify except that I wish that I could tell her-"Listen, honey. It's not worth you wastin your breath singing that song. Thet guy's a jerk with a capital "J".

But if I was there to say that, that woman wouldn't hear me over the sound of her singing and her knocking. Besides, some lessons people have to learnd for themselves.
