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
