Ummmmm  yeah ah yeah yeah 

Never ever  in a million years 
Was this what  I was thinking of 
Crazy  some how it never crossed my mind 
My first friend becoming my first love 

Used to be the one who play with my toys an 
Never would of thought of you as a boyfriend 
If you'd asked who I was looking for  
I would have said someone like the boy next door 
Growing up if you had ever told me  
You'd be the one I'd be wanting to hold me 
I would have laughed and said you were crazy 
Never be with the boy next door 

So hold you, showed you, everything in my life 
When we go cruising in your ride 
So why, was I taken by surprise 
Found love growing in my own backyard 

Playing hide an seek 
In the summer heat 
Didn't wanted to go inside 
Want to hang out until sunrise 
Whenever I was down, never had a doubt 
You wouldn't be in my life 
Whenever anyone saw me, they saw you too 

Used to be the one who play with my toys an 
Never would of thought of you as a boyfriend 
If you'd asked who I was looking for, 
I would have said someone like the boy next door 
Growing up if you had ever told me, 
You'd be the one I'd be wanting to hold me 
I would have laughed and said you were crazy 
Never be with the boy next door 

Used to be the one who play with my toys an 
Never would of thought of you as a boyfriend 
If you'd asked who I was looking for, 
I would have said someone like the boy next door 
Growing up if you had ever told me, 
You'd be the one I'd be wanting to hold me 
I would have laughed and said you were crazy 
Never be with the boy next door 

Playing hide an seek 
In the summer heat 
Didn't wanted to go inside 
Want to hang out until sunrise 
Whenever I was down, never had a doubt 
You wouldn't be in my life 
Whenever anyone saw me, they saw you too 

Used to be the one who play with my toys an 
Never would of thought of you as a boyfriend 
If you'd asked who I was looking for, 
I would have said someone like the boy next door 
Growing up if you had ever told me, 
You'd be the one I'd be wanting to hold me 
I would have laughed and said you were crazy 
Never be with the boy next door 

Used to be the one who play with my toys an 
Never would of thought of you as a boyfriend 
If you'd asked who I was looking for, 
I would have said someone like the boy next door 
Growing up if you had ever told me, 
You'd be the one I'd be wanting to hold me 
I would have laughed and said you were crazy 
Never be with the boy next door
