Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
And though I'm heart-sore, the boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him
I can't ignore him
The boy next door
[PreChorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
