Just the other day my man mentioned your name
And asked me what was up with you
(What's going on girl?)
And I never thought in my wildest dreams
That I'd be bumping into you
(Like this, like this)
You're still glowing like a ray of light
Gotta a little thicker in your hips and thigh
I must say you look fine, so fine
Maybe someday we'll share sometime
That's if you don't mind
If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
Just the other day my girl mentioned your name
And asked me what was up with you
(So what's been up with you?)
And I never thought I'd see you again
Ever since I heard you move
([Incomprehensible])
Yes, they're rolling like a paradise
Plus I had a crush on you since junior high
I can't forget, you looked fly, so fly
Just let me know the day in time
When things will be alright
'Cause if I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause now by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah
If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah
I'm kinda glad that I had a chance to see you again
So before we bounce, I hope that, huh
We can be more than just friends
Without a doubt I'm sure
That you and I can work something out
So here's the number to the crib
Why don't you call me tonight
If I would've knew
The girl next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah, yeah
If I would've knew
The girl next door would have been you
I would've been nice to you and kind to you
Would've shared my world
'Cause by now we'd be in love, yeah
If I would've knew
The boy next door would've been you
