James!

Look out for the boy next door
Come knock-knock-knocking
The ceiling to the floor
James!
I've told you life can be deluxe
Every which way
Looks like trouble but
You've got to let him go
James!
C'mon hold your horses
The first kid under your nose
Ain't a sure thing
James! I told you
Life was made of luck
But a deal's better made
The second time it's cut
You've got to let him go
But he's one wall away
These walls so thin!
James!
They call it a waiting game and
Boy, you will wait in vain
The first one you see
Might make you change
But a straight boy, James
Gonna always shoot the same
You've got to let him go
Love at first sight it may be
But first love on sight
James is crazy
