lyrics

The boy moved in next door in ‘85
It was the first day of the rest of my life
The kind of boy that made the girls go wild
With a wicked sense of humour
And dimples when he smiled

One summer night before the night turned dark
The boy next door asked me to take him for a picnic in the park
I made some sandwiches
The boy next door brought booze and cigarettes
And a whole load of regrets
To plague me from time to time

And he said if you think you’ve got a chance in hell
The sun has gone right to your head
You’re not the girl that suits me well
You won’t be sleeping in my bed
But when the wine was almost empty
He made love to me plenty
And whispered that he cared

Convinced myself that we were more than friends
He kissed me on the lips and told me that our love would never end
But he was sleeping with the girl who wore the flower in her hair
She had no sense of humour
He didn’t seem to care

The boy next door got married, had a child
Moved to the country
And forgot about the days when we were wild
I’m not his honey
But I’ll always miss the dimples when he smiles
He said he’d keep in touch
But now it’s been a while

But I still love the boy next door
