She may not be Marilyn Monroe

And she may not be the cutest girl I know

It's how she makes me feel not how she looks

One smile from her heart

That's all it took

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

She's the girl I'd stay home for

If I had the courage I'd ring her bell

But if she answered what story would I tell

My window's become her picture frame

But this painting doesn't even have a name

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

She's the girl I'd stay home for

She doesn't know that I'm breathing

She doesn't know that I'm alive

She doesn't know what I'm dreaming

When I see that she's turned out her lights

And does she see me like I see her

More than just the boy next door

More than just the boy next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

The girl next door is not the girl next door

She doesn't know that I'm alive
