ALICE

Sally called when she got the word

She said I suppose you've heard - About Alice

Well I rushed to the window

Well I looked outside

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 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

24 years just waiting for the chance

To tell her how I feel and may be 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 help high

A big limousine pulled slowly - Out of 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 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

24 years just waiting for the chance

To tell her how I feel and may be get a second glance

Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice

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 24 years -

And the big limousine disappeared

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 24 years I've been living next door to Alice

24 years just waiting for the chance

To tell her how I feel and may be get a second glance

Now I've got to get used to not living next door to Alice
