The Girl Next Door

By Riverette

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

wish you could see it my way I'd love to be in your shoes for a day I'd throw my self at all the guys you get And do some things that I'd regret But you're not like me, you're such a tease You don't care for their feelings, you do as you please They kneel at your feet and kiss your toes And buy you bouquets of carnation and rose When they've fallen for you, you break the news You don't like them like that, they were just used As they sulk in the corner you slip in a short skirt You'll find some new guys and with them you will flirt Then when I finally like a guy he confides in me He says with you is where he wants to be It sucks to be the one who loves and never gets loved back I feel like every good quality you have I somehow lack Guys see you as everything they want and more But they just see me, simply, as the girl next doorMy first song Written January 30th, 2001 © on Jan 05 2002 04:13 PM PST    20 • 0 • 1
