The Girl Next Door
Hugh Martin, Ralph Blane
The moment I saw her smile
I knew she was just my style
My only regret is we've never met
For I dream of her all the while
But she doesn't know I exist
No matter how I may persist
So it's clear to see there's no hope for me
Though I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue
And she lives at 5133
How can I ignore the girl next door
I love her more than I can say
Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me
And she never sees me glance her way
And though I'm heartsore the girl next door
Affection for me won't display
I just adore her, so I can't ignore her
The girl next door
I just adore her, so I can't ignore her
The girl next door
