Lyrics
Boy around the corner
Introduction to a boy located nearby
Very shy
Describing the boy as very shy
He never says hello
Notices that he never greets or acknowledges
But he's the guy I want to be with
Expressing a desire to be with this shy boy
Boy is kind of funny
Highlighting the boy's humorous qualities
Doesn't speak
Emphasizing his silence or lack of speech
His legs are skinny
Commenting on his thin legs and not an ideal physique
Not a good physique
Acknowledging physical attributes but still loves him
And yet I love him
Expressing love for the shy boy
Boy around the corner
Reiteration of the boy around the corner
Better than the boy next door
Preferencing the shy boy over the neighbor
The boy around the corner's
Reintroduction of the shy boy
Never been in love before
Indicating the boy's lack of romantic experience
Tonight, right after dinner, he's comin' by
Anticipation of the boy's visit after dinner
I won't be shy
Commitment to not being shy during the visit
I'm gonna tell him I love him so
Planning to express love during the encounter
Never let go
Commitment to holding on to the relationship
Boy is kind of crazy
Characterizing the boy as somewhat eccentric
Doesn't care if all the girls are laughing at his hair
Not concerned about others laughing at him
That's why I love him
Reason for love despite unconventional qualities
Boy around the corner
Repetition of the boy around the corner
All day at school he looks my way
Noticing the boy looking in her direction at school
Every day
Consistent attention from the boy every day
Walks me home
Being escorted home by the boy
Never speaks when we're alone
Observation that he remains silent when alone together
Boy around the corner
Reiteration of the boy around the corner
Talk to me
Expressing a desire for the boy to communicate
Boy is kind of funny
Reiteration of the boy's humorous qualities
Doesn't speak
Highlighting the boy's silence or lack of speech
His legs are skinny
Reiterating the mention of his thin legs and physique
Not a good physique
Despite physical attributes, the love for him persists
And yet I love him
Reiteration of love for the shy boy around the corner
Boy around the corner
Reiteration emphasizing preference over the neighbor
Better than the boy next door
Repetition of the boy around the corner
The boy around the corner's
