Livin' Next Door To Alice

Sally called, when she got the word

She said: I suppose you've heard about Alice

So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside

And I could hardly believe my eyes

A big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive

I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door toAlice

Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance

To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance

Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

We grew up together, two kids in the park

Carved our initials deep in the bark

Me and Alice

Now she walks to the door with her head held high

And just for a moment, I caught her eye

As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive

I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door toAlice

Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance

To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance

Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt

She said: I know how to help you, get over Alice

She said: Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here

And you know I've been waiting twenty four years

And the big limousine disappeared

I don't why why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go

I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know

'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door toAlice

Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance

To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance

But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice

No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
