Texty: Barbra Streisand. BOY NEXT DOOR, THE.

The moment I saw him smile
I knew he was just my style
My only regret is we?ve never met
For 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
Though 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-soured
The little boy next door affection for me won't display
I just adore him
So I can't ignore him the boy next door
