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 but I could hardly believe my eyes as a big limousine rolled up 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 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
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 as a 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 '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
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
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 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
