Post 893: Girl Next Door (5/11/00)

      GIRL NEXT DOOR (05/11/00)

EVERYONE’S ALWAYS TRYING TO LOOK BETTER

TRYING TO FORGET WHO THEY REALLY ARE

BUT THE FACE IN THE MIRROR CAN’T REALLY BE HER, 

AND THE IMAGE IS ALL A DREAM

NOW HERE I AM AT THE TIME OF MY LIFE WHEN I’M LOOKING FOR SOMETHING STRONG

SOMEONE FOR MY HEART TO BELONG TO

AND I’M NOT LOOKING FOR MAGAZINE PERFECTION

(I’M LOOKING FOR THE GIRL NEXT DOOR, 

SOMEONE WHO’S NOT IMPRESSED BY MONEY

SOMEONE WHO WON’T BE SCARE TO HOLD ME TIGHT AND CALL ME HONEY

SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN LOVE WITHOUT REASON

SOMEONE TO BE HERSELF AND LAUGH AT REASON

SOMEDAY MAYBE I’LL FIND HER, 

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR)

EVERY DAY I SEE A MILLION PRETENDERS

THROWING THEIR LIVES AWAY FOR SOMETHING THEY’LL NEVER OBTAIN

I WANT SOMEONE WHO IS NOT LIKE THEM

(CHORUS)

BECAUSE IT DOESN’T MATTER IF SHE’S SHORT OR TALL, IF SHE’S THE RIGHT ONE I’LL FALL

I CAN’T LIVE MY LIFE LIVING A CHARADE

I WANT TO LOVE HER FOR WHO SHE IS NOT WHO SHE WANTS TO BE, THAT’S WHY

(CHORUS)
