Текст: Musiq Soulchild. Aijuswanaseing. Girl Next Door.

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I would've been nice to you, a little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub, depending 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 banging like a 400 SE
Even your attitude flows pleasantly

I remember when you was just Tonya Hall
A girl that likes to play basketball
As far as I was concern, you were one of my boys
I never cared about my sex or yours but

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I would've been nice to you, a little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub, depending 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 we was younger I admired you
That's why I always used to pick fights with you

I remember when we used to call each other names
Mimic old TV shows and play those childish games
Like I was your Tarzan and you were my Jane
Can we do that nowadays?

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I would've been nice to you, a little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub, depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

If I would've knew the boy next door, would've been you
I would've been nice to you, spent a little time with you
I would've dressed cuter too

If I would've knew the boy next door, would've been you
I would've been on your team, when we played hide and seek
Instead of you chasing me

You're so fly now, girl, stop playing
I didn't know you were that guy now, naw I ain't
Phat car, phat life, Impressed I am
Oh maybe we could jam like we used to baby

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I would've been nice to you, a little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub, depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

If I would've knew the boy next door, would've been you
If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
If I would've knew the boy next door, would've been you
If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
Oh I would've spent a little more time getting to know you
Getting to hold you

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I would've been nice to you, a little more kind to you
I would've looked twice at you

If I would've knew the girl next door, would've been you
I probably would've shared my grub, depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love
