The girl next door   Your very best friend   You play all day long   But the day is ending   Smiles and laughter   Fill the air   Cleansing you   Of your deepest cares      Games are so much fun   When she’s on the other team   ‘Cause that screams you can tackle   And not think mean   You are playing rough   You see her teal eyes   All this beauty    To your surprise      Chorus   She’s the girl you’ve known   For so very long   To look at her differently   Would seem almost wrong   As you grow older   Your feelings are changing   Not all bad, just rearranging   Yeah, yeah, yeah, they’re being rearranged      When you hang out   You can only laugh and smile   Wishing this moment   Would last a long a long while   All your cares    Seem to fade away   But you never search for   The words to say      You mean the world to me   And you’re the only one to me   For all eternity   You mean the world to me   And you’re the only one to me   For all eternity      Chorus (2x)      She’s the girl that lives   That lives right next door   All you’ve gotta do   All you’ve got to do   Is knock on her door
