Sally called when she got the word

She said "I suppose you've heard, about  Alice."

Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,

And I could hardly belive my eyes,

A big limousine pulled slowly 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 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.

We grew up together, two kids in the park

Carved  our initials deep in the park...

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.

Oh, I don't know why she's leaving, or where she's gonna go,

I guess she's got her resons 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'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 helf, get over Alice."

She said " Now, Alice is gone, but I'm still here,

And you know I've been waiting twenty for 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 for years, I been living next door to Alice.

Twenty four years, just waiting for a chance,

To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance,

But I'll naver get used to not living next door to Alice.

No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice.
