She may not be Marilyn Monroe    And she may not be the cutest girl I know    It's how she makes me feel not how she looks    One smile from her heart    That's all it took       The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    She's the girl I'd stay home for       If I had the courage I'd ring her bell    But if she answered what story would I tell    My window's become her picture frame    But this painting doesn't even have a name       The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    She's the girl I'd stay home for       She doesn't know that I'm breathing    She doesn't know that I'm alive    She doesn't know what I'm dreaming    When I see that she's turned out her lights    And does she see me like I see her    More than just the boy next door    More than just the boy next door       The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    The girl next door is not the girl next door    She doesn't know that I'm alive
