Lyrics Just a Kid - Paul Simon

Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid next door

She was just a kid in pigtails
Only three short years ago
She played with my kid sister
And I take them to the show

She was just a kid in blue jeans
When we moved away from there
I never even noticed
The color of her hair

But just about two weeks ago
Her family and mine back together
And when I set my eyes on her
You could knocked me over with a feather

She was everything I′ve dreamed of
She's the girl I′ve waited for
And I've just thought it silly
That she's not just a kid next door, anymore

I was just a kid in pigtails
Only three short years ago
I played with his kid sister
And he take us to the show

I was just a kid in blue jeans
When he moved away from there
I never even noticed
The color of his hair

But just about two weeks ago
His family and mine back together
And when I set my eyes on him
You could knocked me over with a feather

He was everything I′ve dreamed of
He′s the boy that I adore
And I'm just thinking it silly
That I′m not just a kid next door, anymore

Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid next door

Just a kid
Just a kid
Just a kid next door
