Lyrics The Boy Next Door - Mel Torme

The Boy Next Door

The moment I saw her face, I knew she was just my style
My only regret is we’ve never met for I dream of her all the while
But she doesn’t know I exist, no matter how I persist
So it’s clear to see there’s no hope for me
Though I live at fifty-one thirty-five Kensington Avenue
And she lives at fifty-one thirty three
How can I ignore the girl next door, I love her more than I can say
Doesn’t try to please me, doesn’t even tease me
And she never sees me glance her way
And I thought I’m heartsore, the girl next door
Affection for me won’t display
I just adore her so I can’t ignore her, the girl next door
