Sally called when she got the word, And she said: \"I suppose you've heard - About Alice\". When I to the window, And I looked outside, And I could hardly believe my eyes - As a big limousine rolled 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 just don't want to 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, 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 the bark, Me and Alice. Now she walks through the door, With her held high, Just for a moment, I caught her eye, As a 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 want to know, 'Cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Twenty-four 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...
And Sally called back and asked how I felt, And she said: \"I know to help - Get Alice\". She said: \"Now Alice is gone, But I'm still here, You know I've been waiting For twenty-four years...\" And a big limousine dissapeared...
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, 'Cos for twenty-four I've been living next door to Alice. Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance, To her how I feel, and maybe get a second glance, But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice...
