Why go to work at midnight just as Charlie's getting in?
Charlie is our neighbor so we see a lot of him
My wife sees more Charlie, says I'm more off than gone
He likes to help around the house whenever I'm not home
He's just a good neighbor, don't get jealous now, honey, can't you see?
Charlie is a handyman, he's sure a help to me
He's just a good neighbor, what she says to me I try to understand
But I think this love thy neighbor thinks is getting out of hand
He takes the trash out for her and he even feeds the cat
He helps her with the dishes, I guess I don't mind that
When I came home from work one day they were sitting on the bed
They were sitting on the bed, they were sitting on the bed

I started thinking evil thoughts when he looked at me and said
He's just a good neighbor, don't get jealous now, honey, can't you see?
Me and Charlie made the bed, he's sure a help to me
He's just a good neighbor, what she says to me I try to understand
But I think this love thy neighbor thinks is getting out of hand
He's just a good neighbor, don't get jealous now, honey, can't you see?
Then something finally happened that really changed my life
I was starting to get worried so I called on Charlie's wife
Told her my concerns and asked if she knew what to do
Didn't take her long to prove she's a good neighbor too
Now I'm a good neighbor and I'll bet that he'd be surprised to find
That I'm here making his bed
While he's there making mine
I'm a good neighbor just like Charlie, wonder if he'd understand
If he'd think this love thy neighbor thinks is getting out of hand
Yes, I'm a good neighbor just like Charlie, wonder if he'd understand
If he'd think this love thy neighbor thinks is getting out of hand
