Oh, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would`ve looked twice at you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I probably would`ve shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

Girl I`m so surprised to see
The young, fine woman that you grew up to be
Your body`s banging like a 400SE
Even your attitude flows pleasantly
I remember when you was just Tonya Hall
A girl that likes to play basketball
As far as I was concern, you were one of my boys
I never cared about my sex or yours but

If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would`ve looked twice at you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I probably would`ve shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

I`m happy to see
That you`re home from school
And I want to let you know that I`m proud of you
Even when we was younger I admired you
That`s why I always used to pick fights with you
I remember when we used to call each other names
Mimic old TV shows and play those childish games
Like I was your Tarzan and you were my Jane
Can we do that nowadays?

If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would`ve looked twice at you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I probably would`ve shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

If I would`ve knew the boy next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been nice to you
Spent a little time with you
I would`ve dressed cuter too
If I would`ve knew the boy next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been on your team
When we played hide and seek
Instead of you chasing me

You`re so fly now
(Girl stop playing)
I didn`t know you were that guy now
(Naw I ain`t)
Phat car, phat life
Impressed I am
Oh maybe we could jam like we used to baby

If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would`ve looked twice at you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I probably would`ve shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love

If I would`ve knew the boy next door
Would`ve been you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
If I would`ve knew the boy next door
Would`ve been you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
Oh I would`ve spent a little more time getting to know you
Baby I would`ve been more gentle

If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I would`ve been nice to you
A little more kind to you
I would`ve looked twice at you
If I would`ve knew the girl next door
Would`ve been you
I probably would`ve shared my grub
Depending on how close we was
By now we would be so in love
