The Girl Next Door (To Everybody Else)

[Chorus] It's a song about the girl the next door I love the girl next door, the world's next door They see her everybody melts She's the girl next door to everybody else It's a song is a song about the girl who sings And every time you hear her sing She sings for you and you alone And every other guy you know She loves you back, she says she's with it Loves you back, but wait a minute All along she loved ya back, enough to put a dagger in it It's a song about the girl the next door I love the girl next door, the world's next door They see her, everybody melts She's the girl next door to everybody else [Bridge] So, funny story I was really into this girl, a great singer And I had this musician friend who was really into the same girl She ended up essentially playing us off each other But, we both had these songs that we were going to do with her So we just put them together [Verse 1] It's like a fairy tale about little chickenhead Thought the sky was falling, so she kicked it sick and dead I kept calling, she pretended she was dead Feeling she was healing but the ceiling fell instead! You feel stellar in your skeleton? Tell a guy you fell for him then tell him he's irrelevant? It's evident you think you're Helen of Troy But you're hell in a handbasket, hell of a coy Little Cruella Deville, if it's fitting you fill in Another filthy felony with every fella you thrill You're cellophane, but there's a spell on us still A man goes window shopping and you sell him the sill You give an illness that isn't a silly pill or some silvery penicillin' Or pity gonna fulfil and so willing my pen is spillin' I'm drilling my point until The pen point's dull, the end point's still Insight, I'm inside, I'm insisting You get wise and quit with lip-synching In Christ, you entice the quick kissing Rise in a bathtub full of ice with a rib missing (It's alive!) It's been decided You can lie, but you can't hide it behind your eyelids I provided rhymes and had to plan a hybrid With the man that led this band who might have liked you more than I did Or maybe as much 'cause baby that's what make me want to laugh Just, breaks me right in half 'Cause it really adds up, dwelling on this sad stuff Celibacy mad sucks, when everybody tapped once Including a best friend, then one of my roommates You said it was just then, but shit it was too late So what's your group rate 'cause we've been waiting our turn To watch you eat your words and catch some heartburn [Bridge 2] Guess that's the problem When you have a bunch of people who are artists You end up falling in love because they're amazing on stage and it's too bad Because she really does sing like an angel [Verse 2] Here! Is where you would have sung the verse Here! Is where you'd have to catch a breath Here! Is where you might forget the words Haha! That where you'd laugh to fill the rest Here! Is where you'd hit another high note Here! Is where you'd make it pretty, shit if I don't Here! Is where we'd really try to be friends Funny how the shallow girls end up off the deep end First, I met your ass last year First day of class, you were mad sincere Then you went and chose my friend for benefits Then he did the same and said it was the end of it Then funny thing, I got up on the TV Then, coincidentally, you said you'd like to see me Then you stood me up on just our second date Out with mister music, then you used him for your serenade [Chorus] It's a song about the girl the next door I love the girl next door, the world's next door They see her everybody melts She's the girl next door to everybody else It's a song is a song about the girl who sings And every time you hear her sing She sings for you and you alone And every other guy you know She loves you back, she says she's with it Loves you back, but wait a minute All along she loved ya back, enough to put a dagger in it It's a song about the girl the next door I love the girl next door, the world's next door They see her, everybody melts She's the girl next door to everybody else
