Living Next Door to Alice

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Sally called When she got the word She said, "I suppose you've heard About Alice" [Verse 2] Well I rushed to the window And I looked outside But I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up Into Alice's drive [Pre-Chorus] 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 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice [Chorus] Twenty-four years Just waitin' for the chance To tell her how I feel And maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to Not living next door to Alice [Verse 3] We grew up together Two kids in the park Carved our initials Deep in the bark Me and Alice [Verse 4] Now she walks through 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 'Cause for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice [Chorus] Twenty-four years Just waitin' for the 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 [Verse 5] Sally called back And asked how I felt And she said, "I know how to help Get over Alice" [Verse 6] She said, "Well Alice is gone But I'm still here You know I've been waitin' For these twenty-four years" And the big limousine disappeared [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] Twenty-four years Just waitin' for the 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 [Outro] No, I'll never get used to Not living next door to Alice
