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 wanna 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

Depending on how close we was

By now we would be so in love



[Ayana]

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



[Ayana (Musiq)]

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
