I be in my nightgown chicken wings ready
If you bring the mild sauce we can go steady
You can have the coleslaw we can share the one straw
Sit outside on my block
On emerald street where we used to meet yeah
On my ma's porch seat hoping she won't see yeah
Would you be mine would you be mine
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my
Not a lot of places we can go to be together
'Cos you know the city how'd it get so cold
Write a message in a bottle tell your new book tell your goddess
Snd bow that she'll remember then
You got my house phone jumping
Play ball in the alley it's jumping
Treat the corner store likes it's a luncheon
I hear your bestfriend like like my cousin
Oh lady say to stay out of the grass
Talk back then I got put on punishment
Couldn't go outside for a meal
Even try to run away like I'm tubman
I know you like my bike it's a huffy
With the pen we be stuntin'
Someone stole it I call shorty
He say he seen someone on it
Got it back the same night
I hope this day never end
Then I tell you how I like you you say that we were just friends
Damn
On emerald street where we used to meet yeah
On my ma's porch seat hoping she won't see yeah
It's a wonderful day in the hood
Would you be mine would you be mine
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my neighbour
Won't you be my
