Lyrics:

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 I could hardly believe my eyes As a big limousine rolled up into Alice's drive 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 want to know 'cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for the chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I've got to 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 A big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice's drive Sally called back and asked how I felt And she said, hey 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 disapeared 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 want to know 'cos for twenty-four years I've been living next door to Alice Twenty-four years just waiting for the chance To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice No I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice
