Sally called when she got the word
|
And she said "I suppose you've heard, 'bout Alice"
|
Well I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
|
But I could hardly believe my eyes
|
As a big limousine rode up onto 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
|
'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
|
24 years just waitin' 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
|
Carved out initials deep in the bark, me an' Alice
|
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
|
|
Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt
|
And she said, "I know how to help, to 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
|
|
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
|
'Cos for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice
|
24 years just waitin' 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
|
