Girl Next Door Went A'Walking
Elvis Presley · Elvis Is Back!
She found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She knew it wasnÂ’t right
She came home at half past ten
Late every night
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
She didnÂ’t know love was so grand
She never took love second hand
But to my surprise
She thought that love was paradise
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She knew it wasnÂ’t right
She came home at half past ten
Late every night
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
She didnÂ’t know love was so grand
She never took love second hand
But to my surprise
She thought that love was paradise
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
Now the two are married
Settled down for life
She walks by hand in hand
Late every night
The girl next door went aÂ’walking
She found the boy she likes
She wanted to get married
Settle down for life
Settle down for life
Settle down for life
Settle down for life
