Oh there's been so many stories of the girl next door
And I always told myself I would never fight that war
But now I find myself sitting here, looking across the street
Wondering what I'll say to her next time we meet
Oh there's been so many songs about girl next door
And I always told myself I would never win that war
But now I find myself sitting here, looking across the street
Wondering what I'll say to her next time we meet
I'm writing letter as if she lives across the ocean
Whoa she's only 85 feet away
I wonder if she can hear the emotion
As I lay here and say
Oh I have such undying devotion
She's on my mind all night and every day
I'm out looking for that ninth love potion
Satisfaction seems so far away
Oh there's been so many stories of the girl next door
And I always told myself I would never fight that war
But now I find myself sitting here, looking across the street
Wondering what I'll say to her next time we meet
Its been a month since I ran into her
Oh I wonder does she still live there
And how long until she'll be a stranger
And by then, will I still care?
Its been a year since I ran into here
Oh I know, I know, I know, I know she don't live there
She has become a total stranger
A reality too difficult to bear
Oh there's been so many stories of the girl next door
And I always told myself I would never fight that war
But now I find myself sitting here, looking across the street
Wondering what I'll say to her next time we meet
Oh there's been so many songs about girl next door
And I always told myself I would never win that war
But now I find myself sitting here, looking across the street
Wondering what I'll say to her next time we meet
