Sally
called, when she got the word
She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice" Well, I rushed to the window, I looked outside And I could hardly believe my eyes This big limousine drew up into Alice's drive Chorus: I don't why 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 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years, just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice We walked together, two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark - me and Alice Now she walks to 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 Chorus Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt She said "I know I gotta help You 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 Chorus No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice |
