Boys hung 'round her by the score

But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store

It never once went to her head
|
She had everything it seems

But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store

Pretty house and shiny car
|
Swimming pool and a fence around

All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
