Lyrics:

Sally called, when she got the word,
She said I suppose youve heard about Alice
So, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside,
And I could hardly believe my eyes,
A big limousine pulled slowly into Alices drive


I dont why why shes leaving, or where shes gonna go,
I guess shes got her reasons but I just dont wanna know,
Cause for twenty four years Ive been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years, just waitin for a chance,
To tell her how Im feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now Ive gotta get used to not living next door to Alice


We grew up 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,
And just for a moment, I caught her eye,
As the big limousine pulled slowly out of Alices drive


I dont why why shes leaving, or where shes gonna go,
I guess shes got her reasons but I just dont wanna know,
Cause for twenty four years Ive been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years, just waitin for a chance,
To tell her how Im feeling, maybe get a second glance,
Now Ive gotta get used to not living next door to Alice


Then Sally called back, and asked how I felt,
She said I know how to help get over Alice
She said Now, Alice is gone, but Im still here
And you know Ive been waiting twenty four years...
And the big limousine disappeared...


I dont why why shes leaving, or where shes gonna go,
I guess shes got her reasons but I just dont wanna know,
Cause for twenty four years Ive been living next door to Alice
Twenty four years, just waitin for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance,
But Ill never get used to not living next door to Alice


No, Ill never get used to not living next door to Alice...
