Sally called when she got the word
D E A E
And she said, "I suppose you've heard 'bout Alice"
A
Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside
D
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
E A E
As a big limousine rode up into Alice's drive.
A
I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,
D
I guess she's got her reasons but I just don't wanna know,
E A E
'Cause for twenty four years I've been living next door to Alice.
A
Twenty four years, just waitin' for a chance,
D
To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,
E D E A E
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 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 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.
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
She said "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 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 to Alice.
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...
