Lyrics

[00:08.280] Sally called when she got the word
[00:12.730] And she said I suppose you've heard
[00:19.540] About Alice
[00:23.310] When I rushed to the window
[00:25.370] And I looked outside
[00:27.930] And I could hardly believe my eyes
[00:31.700] As a big limousine rolled up
[00:35.210] Into Alice's drive
[00:38.660] Oh I don't know why she's leaving
[00:40.900] Or where she's gonna go
[00:42.790] I guess she's got her reasons
[00:44.540] But I just don't want to know
[00:46.570] 'Cos for twenty-four years
[00:48.410] I've been living next door to Alice
[00:54.330] Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
[00:58.220] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[01:01.860] Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
[01:10.050] We grew up together
[01:12.140] Two kids in the park
[01:14.470] We carved our initials
[01:15.950] Deep in the bark
[01:21.280] Me and Alice
[01:25.040] Now she walks through the door
[01:27.290] With her head held high
[01:29.490] Just for a moment I caught her eye
[01:33.170] As a big limousine pulled slowly
[01:36.430] Out of Alice's drive
[01:39.930] Oh I don't know why she's leaving
[01:42.060] Or where she's gonna go
[01:43.940] I guess she's got her reasons
[01:45.780] But I just don't want to know
[01:47.680] 'Cos for twenty-four years
[01:49.540] I've been living next door to Alice
[01:55.610] Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
[01:59.170] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[02:02.800] Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice
[02:11.190] And sally called back and asked how I felt
[02:15.470] And she said I know how to help
[02:21.910] Get over Alice
[02:25.370] She said now Alice is gone
[02:28.020] But I'm still here
[02:29.900] You know I've been waiting
[02:31.700] For twenty-four years
[02:35.390] And a big limousine dissapeared
[02:39.630] I don't know why she's leaving
[02:41.320] Or where she's gonna go
[02:43.250] I guess she's got her reasons
[02:44.990] But I just don't want to know
[02:46.990] 'Cos for twenty-four years
[02:48.560] I've been living next door to Alice
[02:54.680] Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
[02:58.480] To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
[03:01.940] But I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
[03:09.550] Now I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
