Living Next Door To Alice

歌詞

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 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 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 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
