Lyrics
The Girl Next Door
©2003 James Cavanaugh
The girl next door has got big brown eyes
They sparkle with delight when I start to tellin lies
I know she don?t believe me, she?s not so young as wise
The girl next door has got big brown eyes
The girl next door has got attitude to spare
She gets right in my face just to tell me she don?t care
The way she flirts and teases, man, it?s just not fair
The girl next door has got attitude to spare
Now when I see her she don?t turn her eyes away
Now when I see her well I wish that I could say
Aw Jessie come on over to my place
The ?rents are out all night
But the girl next door might as well live miles away
The girl next door keeps a diary by her bed
There?s a note right on the front that says ?Read this and you?re dead?
If my name is in those pages it would go right to my head
The girl next door keeps a diary by her bed
Now when I see her she don?t turn her eyes away
Now when I see her well I wish that I could say
Aw Jessie, come on over to my place
The ?rents are out all night
But the girl next door might as well live miles away
The girl next door (4x)
