Sally called
when she got the word
She said "I suppose
you've heard
but Alice"
Well I rushed to
the window and I
liked outside
Well 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 I just don't
wanna know
cause 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 gotta get used
to not living next
door to Alice
We grow up together
two kids in park
Caved our initials
deep in the park
mean Alice
Now she walks
through the door
with her head held high
Just for a moment
I caught her eyes
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
wanna know
cause 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 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 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 waiting
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.
