How would you mind if I moved in next door to you? And then would you mind if I held up your door for you? And maybe in time I could knock on your door And you could answer and I could say; hello my name is Fred And you could say hello my name is Marianne or Catherine I don't care, I'm new; I'm Fred And you could invite me in to see your place that's a very beautiful bedspread And your kitchen is like mine not blue but red instead And would you mind if I asked you if you live alone? Because I had heard voices when passing or was it just the phone? And then you could tell me your boyfriend calls you everyday And I would suggest that he must have a lot to say How would you mind if I moved in next door to you? And then would you mind if I held up your door for you? And maybe in time I could knock on your door And you could answer and I could say; hello my name is Fred You can come over anytime, borrow sugar or drink some wine I've been alone now for several years, just me I've got a collection of classic movies; I listen to music too I've got a tight schedule but I don't do the things most folks do I detect from your accent that you must come from another place? Your complexion is perfect I swear it's Gods good grace In time you'll be glad that I moved in next door to you And given notice I'll make enough dinner for two Call me at work and you'll get right through I will answer; and you could say; Hello is that you Fred?
