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

But I could hardly believe my eyes

As a big limousine rolled up

Into Alice's drive

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 want to know

'Cause for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years

Just waitin' for the chance

To tell her how I feel

And maybe get a second glance

Now I've 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 through 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

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 want to know

'Cause for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years

Just waitin' for the chance

To tell her how I feel

And maybe get a second glance

Now I gotta get used to

Not living next door to Alice

Sally called back

And asked how I felt

And she said, "I know how to help

Get over Alice"

She said, "Well Alice is gone

But I'm still here

You know I've been waitin'

For these twenty-four years"

And the big limousine disappeared

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

'Cause for twenty-four years

I've been living next door to Alice

Twenty-four years

Just waitin' for the chance

To tell her how I feel

And maybe get a second glance

But I'll never get used to not

Living next door to Alice

No, I'll never get used to

Not living next door to Alice
