Sally called when she got the word
she said, i suppose you heard�about alice.
so i rushed to the window and i looked outside
and i could hardly believe my eyes
as the big limousine pulled slowly into alice's drive
Oh i don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
i guess she's got her reasons but i just don't wanna know
cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how i feel and maybe get a second glance
now i gotta 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
as 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 why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
i guess she's got her reasons but i just don't wanna know
cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how i feel and maybe get a second glance
now i gotta get used to not living next door to alice
Sally called back, 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 24 years
and the big limousine disappeared
Oh i don't why she's leaving or were she's gonna go
i guess she's got her reasons but i just don't wanna know
cause for 24 years i've been living next door to alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
to tell her how i feel and maybe get a second glance
now i gotta get used to not living next door to alice
Now i'll never get used to not living next door to alice.
