[Intro]
Girl next door, oh
I wanna be with you
Girl next door
Girl next door
Gir—, gir—, gir—, gir—, gir—, gir—, gir—

I'll never bore, my girl next door
Forevermore

This is crazy
I mean, I meet the most beautiful girl
Come to find out
She live right next door to me
I don't know what I'ma do
This is rough on me
I just gotta, I just gotta talk to somebody

[Verse 1]
Hey fellas, gather 'round
Let me tell you about a girl, who's blowin' my mind
She's really new in town, fresh and lovely
And ever so fine
I said "How do you do?
There's never been another girl like you
My heart just skips a bеat
Whenever you'rе near to me"
(Whenever you're near to me)
She lets me walk with her
I thought it couldn't get any better
But there was even more

[Chorus]
I found out she's the girl next door
I want to be with her forevermore
The girl next door, yeah
I need to be with her

[Post-Chorus]
Gir—, gir— gir—

[Verse 2]
Now since I've been with her
I've found out my whole world is turnin' around
(Turnin' around)
She never rocks the boat
Yes, she keeps it (Yes, she keeps it)
From running the ground
Sometimes I can't believe (Sometimes I can't believe)
That she only wants to be with me
It seems like such a crime
Not to share such a lovely find
I never get too much
I'm living every moment for her touch
(And I get all I need)
Because she lives next door, next to me
Next to me, baby

[Chorus]
Girl next door
(Shooby doo bop, *smooch*, ah, baby, yeah)
Girl next door
(The girl next door)
Girl next door

[Bridge]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, I wanna be with, I wanna be with
Girl next door
Girl next door
Girl next door
Girl, girl

This is crazy
I don't know what I'ma do
This is rough on me
I just gotta, I just gotta talk to somebody

Girl, girl girl girl
Girl, girl girl girl
Girl, girl girl next
Girl next, girl girl next
Girl, girl girl next
Girl, girl girl next
Girl, girl girl next
Girl, girl, girl, girl next door

Now, tell me, baby

[Verse 3]
What could she have in store? The girl next door
Her very essence, her presence I do adore
And being this close is driving me wild
I love her personality, her style, her smile
My life is bright once more again
Our lives, our hearts, our souls will blend
I love that girl more than all the world
She's like priceless diamonds, cultured pearls
She took me by surprise, right before my eyes
She came to me like a vision on Earth
I didn't have to look, I didn't have to search
I'll never bore, my girl next door
Each other's body we'll explore
Our love will grow forevermore

[Outro]
Girl next door
Oh, oh, oh, oh, she caught me peekin'
(You naughty boy)
