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,
A big Limousine pulled slowly, 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,

'Cos for twenty~four years
I've been livin next door to Alice.

Twenty~four years just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second chance.

Now I gotta get used
To not living next door to Alice.

Grew up together, two kids in the park,
Carved our initials deep in the bark,
Me 'n Alice.

Now she walks to the door, her head held high,
Just for a moment, I caught her eye,

Then 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 twenty~four years
I've been livin next door to Alice.

Twenty~four years just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second chance.

Now I 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 I'm still here,
And you know I've been waiting 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,

'Cos for twenty~four years
I've been livin next door to Alice.

Twenty~four years just waitin' for a chance,
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second chance.

Now I gotta get used
To not living next door to Alice.

But I'll never get used to not livin' next door to Alice.
