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 heartsore
The boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him
And I can't ignore him
The boy next door

And though I'm heartsore
The boy next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore him
And I can't ignore him
The boy next door
