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, |
And I could hardly believe my eyes, |
This big limousine pulled 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 |
'Cause for twenty four years |
I've been living next door to Alice. |
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. |
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, |
Just for a moment, I caught her eye, |
As the big limousine pulled slowly |
Out of 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 |
'Cause for twenty four years |
I've been living next door to Alice. |
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. |
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 |
You know I've been waiting 24 years." |
And the big limousine disappeared. |
Bridge: |
x4 |
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 to Alice. |
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. |
No, I'll never get used to not living |
Next door to Alice |
