How can I ig-nore the boy next door?
4  -1  -3   -3  -3*  4 -3*  1
I love him more than I can say
 1   -1  -1* -2   3    3
Does-n't try to please me, 
 -1  -1* -2 3   -3   -3
Does-n't e-ven tease me
 2  -2  3  -3  -3* 4    -3   -3*  3
And he nev-er sees me glance his way
-1   -1*   -2    4*   4*
And though I'm heart-sore, 
-5  -1*  -4   -4
the boy next door
4  -1   -3  -3 -3*   4   -3*  -5
Af-fec-tion for me won't dis-play
-5 -5 -2  2   -2
I just a-dore him 
-2*3  -5   3  -2*   3
so I can't ig-nore him
 3   3*  -3  -3*
