the boy next door
Lyrics：Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane Music：Hugh Martin/Ralph Blane
The moment I saw him smile,
I knew he was just my style,
My only regret is weve never met,
Though I dream of him all the while.
But he doesnt know I exist,
No matter how I may persist,
So its clear to see theres no hope for me,
Though I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue
And he lives at 5133.
How can I ignore
The boy next door?
I love him more than I can say.
Doesnt try to please me, doesnt even tease me,
And he never sees me glance his way.
And though Im heart-sore
The boy next door affection for me wont display,
I just adore him, so I cant ignore him,
The boy next door.
I just adore him, so I cant ignore him,
The boy next door.
