The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we've never met
For 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 51 35
Kensington Avenue
And he lives at 51 33
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 seize the glance his way


And though I'm heart soured
The little boy next door
Affection for me, won't display
I just adore him, so I can't ignore him
The boy next door
