| The moment I saw him smile
|
| I knew he was just my style
|
| My only regret
|
| Is we’ve never met
|
| Though I dream of him all the while
|
| But he doesn’t know I exist
|
| No matter how I may persist
|
| So it’s clear to see
|
| There’s no hope for me
|
| Though I live at 5131 Kensington Avenue
|
| And he lives at 5133
|
| How can I ignore
|
| The boy next door
|
| I love him more than I can say
|
| Doesn’t try to please me
|
| Doesn’t even tease me
|
| And he never sees me glance his way
|
| And though I’m heart-sore
|
| The boy next door
|
| Affection for me won’t display
|
| I just adore him
|
| So I can’t ignore him
|
| The boy next door |
