Your family lived next door mine

We walked to school together

We were best friends through rain or shine

Sure to remain forever

      

But as time flew my feelings grew

With ever more emotion

Until the love I felt for you

Was deeper than the ocean

      

I knew you liked me as a friend

I wished it was more

Thought all I’d ever be to you

Is just the girl next door

      

I hurt inside… and yes… I cried

When other girls you dated

I listened as you burst with pride

Pretending I related

       

I knew you liked me as a friend

I wished it was more

Thought all I’d ever be to you

Is just the girl next door

You took off with some beauty queen… sure she was like no other

But when you found her not so sweet you moved back with your mother

Your sorry tale you told to me in tears shed on my shoulder

I prayed a wiser man you’d be now that you're getting older

         

I knew you liked me as a friend

I wished it was more

Thought all I’d ever be to you

Is just the girl next door

          

But as time flew your feelings grew

With ever more emotion

Till you confessed your love for me

Is deeper than the ocean

            

I knew you liked me as a friend

But now your heart feels more

Now I’m your true love to life’s end

Not just the girl next door

Yes I’m your true love to life’s end

Not just the girl next door
