I’ve known you since you were a schoolgirl   Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes   From the window of my room   I watched a young girl bloom   Watched you fall in love a time or two   I saw you get hurt once or twice   And you’d come running over   Cry on my shoulder   Sometimes I’d get to hold you all night.      There in my arms you’d lay soft and warm   You never felt the writing on the wall   You never knew how I wanted you   I was the boy next door, that’s all   Just the boy next door, that’s all.      I watched you drift away, out of my reach   I never got to hold you again   And here in my heart   Is the saddest part?   We’ll never know how it might have been.      There in my arms you’d lay soft and warm   You never felt the writing on the wall   You never knew how I wanted you   I was the boy next door, that’s all   Just the boy next door, that’s all.      Do you ever think about me baby?   The boy next door, that’s all...
