Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just the other day my man mentioned your name
And asked me what was up with you
(What's going on girl?)
And I never thought in my wildest dreams
That I'd be bumping into you
(Like this, like this)
[Verse 2]
You're still glowing like a ray of light
Gotta a little thicker in your hips and thigh
I must say you look fine, so fine
Maybe someday we'll share sometime
That's if you don't mind
[Verse 3]
If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
[Verse 4]
If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
[Verse 5]
Just the other day my girl mentioned your name
And asked me what was up with you
(So what's been up with you?)
And I never thought I'd see you again
Ever since I heard you move
[Verse 6]
Yes, they're rolling like a paradise
Plus I had a crush on you since junior high
I can't forget, you looked fly, so fly
Just let me know the day in time
When things will be alright
[Verse 7]
'Cause if I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah
[Verse 8]
If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
I'm kinda glad that I had a chance to see you again
So before we bounce, I hope that, huh
We can be more than just friends
[Verse 10]
Without a doubt I'm sure
That you and I can work something out
So here's the number to the crib
Why don't you call me tonight
[Verse 11]
If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
[Verse 12]
If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah
[Verse 13]
If I would've knew
The girl next door would have been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
[Verse 14]
If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
