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 Big limousine drove up
into Alice's drive
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 wanna know
Cos 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
Walked together,
two kids in the park We caught on in a chance deep in the bar
Me and Alice Now she walks through the door with her hair
held high Just for a moment I caught her eye
Big limousine pulls slowly into Alice's drive
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 wanna know
Cos 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
Sally called back and asked how I felt She said,
hey,
I know how to help
Get over Alice
She said, now Alice is gone but I'm still
here I've been waiting for twenty-four years
And the big limousine disappeared
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
Cos 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
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
