The Boy Next Door - Judy Garland

The moment I saw him smile

I knew he was just my style

My only regret

Is we’ve never met

Though 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 5131 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-sore

The boy next door

Affection for me won’t display

I just adore him

So I can’t ignore him

The boy next door
