Conway Twitty - The Boy Next Door lyrics

rate me

I've known you since you were a schoolgirl<br />

Saw the smoke turn to fire in your eyes<br />

From the window of my room<br />

I watched a young girl bloom<br />

Watched you fall in love a time or two<br />

I saw you get hurt once or twice<br />

And you'd come running over<br />

Cry on my shoulder<br />

Sometimes I'd get to hold you all night.<br />

<br />

There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm<br />

You never felt the writing on the wall<br />

You never knew how I wanted you<br />

I was the boy next door, that's all<br />

Just the boy next door, that's all.<br />

<br />

I watched you drift away, out of my reach<br />

I never got to hold you again<br />

And here in my heart<br />

Is the saddest part?<br />

We'll never know how it might have been.<br />

<br />

There in my arms you'd lay soft and warm<br />

You never felt the writing on the wall<br />

You never knew how I wanted you<br />

I was the boy next door, that's all<br />

Just the boy next door, that's all.<br />

<br />

Do you ever think about me baby?<br />

The boy next door, that's all...
