The Girl Next Door
It's June 14, 1995
It was the first day you caught her eye
She was just moving in,
With her pa by her side
Her flowing blonde hair,
Swore she told no lie
You were only 18,
Pretty much a high school grad
But when you saw her face,
Your heart, it fell outta place
And now see she's always,
Been the,
One for you
But you're just starting to realize:
She's sparkling, amazing,
Wonderful, she can break your heart
But she never would
Because:
She’s just the girl next door,
But you think she’s beautiful
Just the girl next door,
You’ve seen her too many times before
But she gives you that smile
She makes your heart pound
She makes you feel,
All those things you haven't felt yet
And suddenly that girl next door
Don't seem so simple anymore
She can hold your hand,
And she just plays it cool
She just acts your friend
But it makes you feel like a fool
Because she doesn't know,
She's got your heart in her hand
The power to make it alright
But if she only knew,
Would you win the fight,
For her heart?
She’s just the girl next door,
But you think she’s beautiful
Just the girl next door,
You’ve seen her too many times before
But she gives you that smile
She makes your heart pound
She makes you feel,
All those things you haven't felt yet
And suddenly that girl next door
Don't seem so simple anymore
You thought she had no idea,
Of the way she made you feel
Til that late Friday night, sitting out by the lake
You were together, and your hand started to shake
You took hers in yours,
You whispered sweet nothin's
Then you leaned in, and she closed the gap
She’s just the girl next door,
But you think she’s beautiful
Just the girl next door,
You’ve seen her too many times before
But she gives you that smile
She makes your heart pound
She makes you feel,
All those things you haven't felt yet
And suddenly that girl next door
Don't seem so simple anymore
That little girl next door,
The one with the blonde hair,
Blue eyes, white smile; everything
Don't seem so simple anymore
