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
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
