Now I've got one mind for one girl
There's not one thing in the whole wide world
I wouldn't do for the girl next door
She's not too pretty, you know she's sweet
This plain Jane knocks me off of my feet
And I know she's just the girl next door

Why do you try so hard to hide your feelings?
(Oh, the girl next door)
Please tell me how it feels inside
(Oh, the girl next door)
You just let yourself go and you'll realize
It's all for real, can you tell me how it feels?

Remember how it used to be
And now you're there holding back on me
And I know that you're the girl next door
I told you I'd be back one day
We all grow different, you're still the same
And I know you're still the girl next door

Why do you try so hard to hide your feelings?
(Oh, the girl next door)
Please tell me how it feels inside
(Oh, the girl next door)
You just let yourself go and you'll realize
It's all for real, tell me how it feels, babe, yeah

So why won't you hold me
Just for a little while?
Why won't you kiss me?
I think I know how you really feel, yeah

So remember how it used to be
And now you're there holding back on me
And I know that you're the girl next door
I told you I'd be back one day
We all grow different, you're still the same
And I know you're still the girl next door

Why do you try so hard to hide your feelings?
(Oh, the girl next door)
Please tell me how it feels inside
(Oh, the girl next door)
You just let yourself go and you'll realize
It's all for real, can you tell me how it feels?

She's the girl next door
Talkin' 'bout the girl next door
She's just the girl next door
The girl next door
The girl next door
The girl next door
She's just the girl next door
I want the girl next door
I need the girl next door
I love the girl next door
Ain't nobody but me
