Lyrics: (Separate Lyrics) VERSE: 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. CHORUS: 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.
