|
|
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 fifty-one-thirty-five Kensington Avenue
|
And he lives at fifty-one-thirty-three
|
|
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
|
|
I just adore him
|
So I can't ignore him
|
The boy next door
|
