Smokie ☆ Living next door to alice-

Sally called when she got the word
And she said I suppose youve heard, bout Alice
Well I rushed to the window and I looked outside
Well I could hardly believe my eyes,
As a big limousine rode up into Alices drive.

Oh, I dont know 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
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

We grew up together, two kids in the park
Carved out 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 Alices drive

Oh, I dont know 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
Now I gotta get used to not living next door to Alice

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

I dont know 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
