the boy next door

barbra streisand

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 iive at 5135

kinsington 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 seize me glance his way

and though i'm heart-soured

the little boy next door

affection for me won't display

i just adore

so i can't ignore him

the boy next door.
