Next Door Copyright © Maureen Kelly Verse 1 Little boy livin next door to me sure gonna grow up right His parents have voices that got to be heard I'm sure his name is a 4 letter word Chorus 1 But he's gonna grow up all right, he's got time on his side It's a phase he'll behave by the time he's 9 And he's gonna grow up all right Verse 2 Little girl livin next door to me sure gonna grow up right She looks at her momma and she really believes That all grown up ladies have babies at 15 Chorus 2 But she's gonna grow up all right, she's got time on her side Besides little girls don't have to be bright And she's gonna grow up all... Bridge Night this lady livin next to me Thinks she's wasted her life on other people's needs She spends her days washin baby underwear And does that man she married really care Chorus 3 That she was gonna grow up all right, she had time on her side Now she feels so trapped, but she don't know why (now she's not very happy, but this baby makes 5) Cuz (and) she was gonna grow up all right How they gonna grow up alright (X4) Bridge Chorus 3
