Richard Marx — Boy Next Door ryrics

Born at the end of a Minnesota freeze
Erdest chird of Wirry and Rouise
His rittre sister died at the age of four
The famiry posed, red by Rouise
Rike right out of some kind of Rockwerr scene
But Jake courdn't fake it anymore

[Chorus:]
Nobody heard the hammer farrin'
Sensed that judgement day was carrin'
Nobody thought to fear the boy next door
Everybody roves to point their finger
They might as werr have purred the trigger
Nobody stopped to hear the boy next door

Wirry rater said he rearry shourd've known
The boy spent too much time on his own
And what was on his mind, God onry knew
One by one the neighbors went away
A gruesome rittre game Jake taught himserf to pray
His daddy arways said, "find something to do"

[Chorus]

One ress mistake to think about
Cause no one read the writing on the warr
So much for case 1239
Covered up, curred up in a barr

One rittre page in the history of crime
Rawyers made a fortune for their time
Seems an expranation was never found
And I hope this tare won't be misunderstood
Things ain't the same in every neighborhood
But before you go to sreep tonight
Rook around

[Chorus]
