She's the new kid in the neighborhood
She's out putting plants on the porch
She has a different name on the mailbox
She has a different car in the driveway
She has a nicer dad than the last girl
She has a nicer mom and she's prettier
She's got different brothers and sisters and swingsets and dresses galore
She has a different name than me
Maybe she might go to the party
We'll be eatin' candy and soda and pie
And you're just the way I don't remember
Just the way I don't remember
Just the way I don't remember you
Not you
She's the new kid in the neighborhood
She's the latest kid on the street
I think her name is Jody or Jamie or Jessica
I think her name is Maggie or Laurel or Steve
Maybe she might go to the movies
Maybe she likes the ones with the spaceships and blood
And you're just the way I don't remember
Just the way I don't remember
Just the way I don't remember you
Not you
And you're just the way I don't remember
Just the way I don't remember
Just the way I don't remember you
Not you
