She left the light on in the top of her house
To let me know that she was gonna go out
She left the light on in the top of her house
To let me know that she was gonna go out

Putting her make up by candle light
Ironing her dresses
Tall and slight
Despite her excesses

I really thought you were the morning star
Lying right next to me
I really thought you were the morning star
Lying right next to me

They thought she was an entertainer
'Cause she knew all the fellas from the club
But she was just my next-door neighbor
Who was started to me
'Cause she thought I was sweet
