Girl Next Door
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you
I would have been nice to you.
A little more kind to you.
I would have looked twice at you.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you,
I prob'ly would have shared my grub
dependin' on how close we was.
By now we would be so in love.
Girl I'm so surprised to see
the young fine woman that you grew up to be.
Your body's bangin' like a 400 SE.
Even your attitude flows pleasantly.
I remember when you was just Tanya Hall;
the girl that liked to play basketball.
As far as I was concerned you was on of my boys.
I never cared about my sex or yours.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you
I would have been nice to you.
A little more kind to you.
I would have looked twice at you.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you,
I prob'ly would have shared my grub
dependin' on how close we was.
By now we would be so in love.
I'm, happy to see that you're home from school.
And I wanna let you know that I'm proud of you.
Even when was younger, I admired you.
That's why I usta' always pick fights with you.
I remember when we usta' call each otha names,
mimic old tv shows and play those childish games
like; I was your Tarzan and you were my Jane.
Can we do that now a days?
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you
I would have been nice to you.
A little more kind to you.
I would have looked twice at you.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you, I prob'ly would
have shared my grub
dependin' on how close we was.
By now we would be so in love.
If I would have knew the boy next door would have been you
I would have been nice to you.
Spent a little time wit' you.
I would have dressed cuter too.
If I would have knew the boy next door would have been you,
I would have been on your team
when we played hide and seek
instead of you chasing me.
You're so fly now.
(Girl stop playin' )
I didn't know you were that guy now.
(Naw I ain't)
Phat car.
(Well)
Phat life.
(Well)
Impressed I am.
Oh maybe we could jam like we used to baby.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you
I would have been nice to you.
A little more kind to you.
I would have looked twice at you.
If I would have knew the girl next door
would have been you, I prob'ly would
have shared my grub
dependin' on how close we was.
By now we would be so in love.
If I would've knew the boy next door
If I would've knew the girl next door
If I would've knew the boy next door
If I would've knew the girl next door
Would've been you
Someday you'll be my girl
