Living Next Door to Alice

Sally called when she got the word She said I suppose you’ve heard About Alice Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice’s drive Chorus: Oh 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 want to know ‘Cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I’ve got to get used to not living next door to Alice We grew up together, two kids in the park We carved our initials deep in the bark Me and Alice Now she walks through the door with her head held high Just for a moment, I caught her eye As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice’s drive Chorus Sally called back and asked how I felt And she said, hey I know how to help Get over Alice She said, now Alice is gone, but I’m still here You know I’ve been waiting for twenty-four years And the big limousine disappeared Chorus: 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 want to know ‘Cause for twenty-four years I’ve been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting 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…
