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.
