Guess who's coming to my house
Guess who's ringing my bell
Guess who's gonna come over
Coming to wish me well
I don't have to be sad and
I don't have to cry anymore
Oh, life is gonna be beautiful
'Cause I'm lovin' the boy next door
Oh life is gonna get easy now
'Cause I'm lovin' the boy next door

Lovin' the boy, lovin' the boy
Lovin' the boy next door
Lovin' the boy, lovin' the boy
Lovin' the boy next door

I don't have to go wandering
I don't have to hang out
I don't have to get rained on
'Cause love is in my back yard
I just look out my window
'Cause I know that he's looking for more
Oh, life is gonna be beautiful
'Cause I'm lovin' the boy next door
Life is gonna get easy now
'Cause I'm lovin' the boy next door

Lovin' the boy, lovin' the boy
Lovin' the boy next door
Lovin' the boy, lovin' the boy
Lovin' the boy next door

The grass always looks greener
On the other side
And things have never been sweeter
Since I opened my eyes
The same things look different
And less has been looking like more
Oh, life is gonna be beautiful
'Cause I'm loving the boy next door
Oh, life is gonna get easy now
'Cause I'm lovin the boy next door

Oh, I said life is gonna be beautiful
'Cause I'm loving the boy next door
I said, life is gonna be so much more simple now
'Cause I'm lovin the boy next door.
Life is gonna be so much more beautiful
'Cause I'm lovin the boy next door
Life is gonna get easy now
'Cause I'm lovin' the boy next door
