Sally called when she got the word
She said, "I suppose you&9ve heard about Alice.
Well, I rushed to the window and I looked outside
Well, I could hardly believe my eyes
As a big limousine rolled up into Alice&9s drive
**
I don&9t know why she&9s leaving and where she&9s gonna go
I guess she&9s got her reasons but I just don&9t wanna know
&9Cause for twenty-four years I&9ve been living next door to Alice
***
Twenty-four years just waiting for a 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
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 eyes
As a big limousine pulled slowly out of Alice&9s drive
** repeat
*** repeat
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&9m still here.
You know I&9ve been waiting twenty-four years.
And the big limousine disappeared
** repeat
Twenty-four years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe get a second glance
But I&9ll never get used to not living next door to Alice
No, I&9ll never get used to not living next door to Alice
