| We never met face to face |
| But I feel like I know you well |
| You have the place next to my place |
| I could see you by ringing the bell |
| But I hear you through the wall |
| I hear you in the morning shower |
| How can you play that song at that hour |
| Press my ear to the wall to hear coffee perk |
| And watch from the window when you leave for work |
| And I hide behind the wall |
| Your boyfriend is really a jerk (jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk) |
| Will he ever learn to play the saxophone |
| He plays that same song over and over |
| Your boyfriend is really a jerk (jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk) |
| Watches daytime shows the sound is loud |
| Watches daytime shows watches daytime shows |
| I can’t wait till you’re home from work |
| I like Saturdays best of all |
| When your exercise records play |
| The pictures shake on my wall |
| Send a dozen leg lifts my way |
| Cause I feel you through the wall |
| I heard how you balked when they raised the rent |
| It was the closest I’ve come to losing you |
| Just fifty a month and it’s money well spent |
| To keep you beside me it’s the least I can do Cause I need you through the wall |
| Your boyfriend is really a jerk (jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk) |
| Will he ever learn to play the saxophone |
| He plays that same song over and over |
| Your boyfriend is really a jerk (jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk, jerk) |
| Watches daytime shows the sound is loud |
| Watches daytime shows watches daytime shows |
| I can’t wait till you’re home from work |
| And I hear you through the wall |
| And I feel you through the wall |
| And I need you through the wall |
