LIVING NEXT DOOR TO ALICE
Sally called when she got the word.
And she said: “I suppose you’ve heard – about Alice”.
Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside
and I could hardly believe my eyes. A big limousine rolled up, into Alice’s drive.
[Chorus]
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.
[Verse 2]
We grew up together, two kids in the park.
We carved our initials, deep in the bark. Me and Alice
Now she walks through the door with her head held high
Just for a moment I caught her eye
The big limousine pulled out of Alice’s drive
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Sally called back and asked how I felt, And 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 for twenty-four years…
And the big limousine disappeared…
[Chorus]
