- The moment I saw him smile I knew he was just my style.
- My only regret is we've never met though I dream of him all the while.
- But he doesn't know I exist no matter how I may persist.
- So, it's clear to see there's no hope for me, no.
- I live at 5135 Kensington Avenue and he lives at 5133.
- How can I ignore the boy next door? I love him more than I can say.
- Doesn't try to please me, doesn't even tease me and he never sees me glance his way.
- And though I'm heart sore, the boy next door affection for me won't display.
- I just adore him, so I can't ignore him.
