BOY NEXT DOOR, THE
(Johnny Madara / David White)


The Secrets - 1963





The boy next door has really got me dreamin'
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
But I remember when he was a little demon
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
He used to pull my hair
But I didn't really care
I loved him even then
When he was twelve and I was ten

The boy next door used to take my toys away
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
But now he's busy keepin' all the boys away
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
He's jealous as can be
But that's alright with me
He told all the other guys
Stay away if you value your life

(Instrumental Break)

The boy next door wants to move across the street
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
He wants to get married, gonna make my life complete
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
So if you're lookin' round
For a guy in your hometown
The one that you're lookin' for
Just might be the boy next door

Oooh, I love the boy next door
(Dum-dee-dum-dee-dum, the boy next door)
Oooh, I love the boy .......... FADE
