When I was twelve, the phenomenon known as New Kids on The Block entered my life.
I fell madly in love with Joey - who was only thirteen when he joined the group and could have so easily been my boyfriend.

I will always remember the day
When your voice blew me away
And when you appeared on my TV
I knew you were meant to be with me
You were the youngest and the cutest
In my dreams, I build our future nest
It didn’t matter you were thousands of miles away
Because I knew true love would always find a way
Your pictures covered every inch of my walls
In my dreams I answered your phone calls
Where you told me how much loved me
And how wonderful our life together would be
Each night I kissed your picture and dreamt
That all the sweet words you sang were meant
Only for me, that I was your sweetheart
And once together, we would never part
When you sang, tell me you’ll stay
I promised I’d never go away
That I would always be your girl
I loved you most in the world
But my crush was not meant to last
Before I knew it, you were in my past
Instead, I gave my heart
To someone real who tore it apart
If only real lovers could have been
As sweet and kind as you were in my dreams
I would not have given my heart away in vain
And would have saved myself from a lot of pain
