Girl Next Door
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

Kian and Crystal have been next-door neighbors since little kids. They
weren�t good friends, but nor did they hate each other. They were just play
friends, Crystal was tom - boy and well she liked to play sports with Kian.

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

Kian and Crystal would always play basketball against each other, Crystal
won sometimes but most of the time Kian did. Kian and Crystal had the same
friends too, who were like all boys, like I said she�s a tom - boy. Crystal
would get made fun of for having so many guys friends, but her self esteem
would never drop she ignored them and continued on with life. Crystal was
more than just an athletic tom - boy she was smart and intelligent. She had
to go off to school a few years back and Kian heard she was graduation soon;
he was happy for her but wished he could be as smart as her but she was
jealous about his singing abilities. So the jealously evened out.

A few months later Kian came back from touring with Westlife (he�s in a band
with 4 other guys Nicky, Bryan, Shane, and Mark and they are very big) and
Crystal was already at home taking a vacation and trying to find a job, she
majored in Sound Engineering in college so everyday she would go to the
local recording studios and ask for a job, she didn�t do too well but she
knew she would do better once people saw her talent. She was great in the
studio, she had some internships back in London and was thinking about
moving there and going to one of the studios she worked before.

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?

When Kian came back and saw Crystal he didn�t notice her at first she
changed drastically. She was more feminism wearing skirts, tank tops,
nothing she would wear younger. Her hair had changed from jet - black to a
brown with a hint of gold, and she wore a little lip-gloss. Crystal in
Kian�s eyes was the prettiest thing he�s seen in years, and he couldn�t
believe they would always fight and play basketball and now she was
beautiful. Words couldn�t explain what he was feeling for Crystal she had
an affect on him.

Crystal and Kian hanged out a bit and caught up on old times, they even
played basketball like old times. Though Kian let Crystal win, cuz well he
didn�t want her to think he wasn�t a real gentlemen. He was fallin for and
fast but would she fall for him.

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

Crystal thought back at times and thought about how much of a tom - boy she
was, and if should would have known Kian grew up to be such a handsome guy
she would younger dress a bit more like a girl. Also she wouldn�t have
played against Kian when they had teams and be with him. Crystal thought
Kian was so cool, and changed so much and she was fallin for him, he was
easy to talk to not like other boyfriends.

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

Soon enough they had to spill there feeling the person to spill first was
Crystal. It was a late afternoon and they were walking the parks and
messing around. When Crystal just stopped and spilled the beans, Kian was
shocked but pleased.

If I would've knew the girl next door

If I would've knew the boy next door

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

Since then they have been a couple and made a great at that. Kian got
Crystal at his record company and was recording music for big artist,
including Westlife�s new album Coast To Coast, which Crystal thought was the
best music she�s heard.
